Mission Statement
Safeguarding the landscape, communities, and heritage of Virginia's Piedmont by involving citizens in related public policy and land conservation.
Description
The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) was founded in 1972 with the purpose of preserving important attributes of the Northern Piedmont region of Virginia. Those key attributes are the open spaces, natural viewsheds, historic features, agricultural activity, and the clean air and water that make living, working and visiting the region so special. Protecting these attributes, while recognizing the importance of economic vitality, has always been, and remains PEC’s core organizational goal. PEC focuses its efforts on 9 Virginia counties: Albemarle, Greene, Orange, Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappahanock, Clarke, and Loudoun.
