The Henrico County Sustainability Division focuses on enhancing and maintaining the natural and built environments in a way that balances ecological systems and the needs of future generations.
Our programs and activities aim to improve the quality of life and well-being of all in our community by taking new approaches to County efforts that emphasize environmental sustainability. We also aim to provide resources and support to community members, businesses, and organizations as they improve their environmental sustainability activities.
