Clean Fairfax is excited to announce the development of our Community Map! Found on our website’s homepage, it displays local Fairfax County cleanups (hosted by Clean Fairfax or otherwise) as well as community events and markets. Our website typically garners thousands of unique views a month, and consequently, we believe that this will be a great way to get the word out about local conservation/sustainability education efforts! Please contact Clean Fairfax if you’d like your cleanup or event to be included on the map, or if you know of a litter problem area that we should be aware of! We’re happy to post anything that furthers the protection and restoration of our ecosystems.

Part of Clean Fairfax’s mission is to be a clearinghouse for environmental and sustainability information, and this map will help us better communicate to our audience. We often field questions about local volunteer opportunities, and this will serve as a way to quickly inform those interested. We’re especially interested in mapping the following:

• Cleanup opportunities
• Restoration opportunities
• Other environmental volunteer opportunities
• Local environmental events, including meetings, films, festivals and more!
• Litter hotspots that need attention
• Farmers’ markets, and perhaps other stores that go above and beyond concerning sustainability
• Anything else we haven’t yet thought of that the community finds important!

Do you have an upcoming event or community initiative that you want posted? Email us today!
