Keep Virginia Cozy founder, Brian Bell, chats with Lori about the mission, activities and events  that are all part of keeping Virginia cozy. There's cleanups, trail magic, fundraising hikes and much more. Take a listen to how community drives the values and mission of this organization and how their vision is to work to conserve our land through outreach, restoration and research.  At the heart of it, Keep Virginia Cozy's message is simple: 

Be Kind. Smile at Strangers. Work Together for Good. Pick Up Litter. Keep Virginia Cozy!
