About Us

LEEA is a voluntary coalition of individuals representing nonprofits, schools, governments and corporations with a common interest in environmental education and stewardship in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Formed in 2007, LEEA serves the shared interests of its member organizations, promotes environmental programs and outdoor experiences in Loudoun County, and provides links to resources for environmental education and outdoor recreation. LEEA members provide programs, sites and learning resources to children and adults.

LEEA members believe that our nation’s future depends on the wise stewardship of the environment around us that comes from a personal connection to nature. Through environmental education, individuals can learn and understand the benefits to society as well as their own well-being. Current studies reveal that there is an enormous environmental literacy gap that continues to increase and negatively impact the environment in which we live.
