Many services were provided to individual cooperators, units of government, and businesses in Dickenson and Wise counties. Since the two major priorities of the District were education and water quality, the majority of the activities centered on school children, clubs, and civic groups with subject matter relating to water quality and conservation. District members have been leaders and directly involved with all activities. Grants have made it possible for many projects to become realities. We sincerely appreciate the support of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Soil and Water Conservation, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Department of Environmental Quality, Office of Surface Mining, Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, Virginia Department of Forestry, Dickenson County Board of Supervisors, Wise County Board of Supervisors, and The Phipps Foundation for the funding which made District operations and activities possible.
