Virginians for Healthy Air
Who We Are
Virginians for Healthy Air is a network of Virginia businesses, civic groups, and nonprofit organizations that share the vision of healthy air for the Commonwealth and for Virginia’s national parks, including Shenandoah. To read a fact sheet on Virginians for Healthy Air click here.

What We Do
Virginians for Healthy Air are teaming up with NPCA to help advance clean air for our national parks and Virginia. Virtually all of the air pollution that enters the parks comes from sources outside their boundaries. Therefore, the entire state will see benefits as we work to meet the goals of clean air and clear vistas in our parks.
In order to accomplish these goals network members are updated on how to get involved at both the state and national level in efforts to clear the air.
How You Can Help
If you are a member of a civic organization, local government, or church urge your group to join the network today. If you own a Virginia business you can sign up online. For more information please contact Erin St. John at 304.469.4433 or estjohn@npca.org.
