Wetlands Watch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Norfolk, Virginia. Our mission is to enhance natural resilience, bolster community adaptation efforts, and protect and restore wetlands throughout Virginia. We advance climate adaptation by working collaboratively with a wide variety of stakeholders, and by implementing solution-focused strategies that unify and connect.

Established in 1938 to provide habitat to migratory birds and other wildlife, conservation of endangered or threatened species, and to support incidental fish and wildlife-oriented recreation.

White Ash Learning Cooperative aims to offer young people the opportunity to derive their education from self-chosen activities and experiences. We believe that education is the sum of everything a person learns that enables that person to live a satisfying and meaningful life. Place Based Learning is interwoven with the history, people, and cultures of this land.
The semester program provides opportunities to build social, emotional, academic, and wilderness skills in an environment that encourages curiosity and experiential learning. Mentors offer a diverse range of engaging daily projects to mixed age groups ranging from 2-15. Projects include nature-based crafts, wild food processing, tending teaching gardens, cooking, learning math through games, Montessori-inspired lessons, science experiments, wilderness and naturalist skills including shelter building, knot tying, hide tanning, bird language, tracking, and more. Participants have access to multiple spaces including a wilderness camp with youth-built shelters, stream, pond, mountain, trails, and the White Ash Learning Library.

Our mission is to enrich individuals with knowledge of and involvement with our natural ecological systems, holistic community planning, and respect for local history and culture.
