A former ecologist turned climate policy advocate, Blair comes to the Virginia League of Conservation with extensive environmental policy experience – both in Virginia and numerous states nationwide. Blair received her Master’s of Science degree from the University of Virginia in Environmental Sciences with a concentration in Behavioral Ecology, and her undergraduate degree is in Environmental Studies with a minor in Mathematics from Hollins University. As the new Director of Advocacy and Campaigns, Blair will continue VALCV’s work to protect resources important to all Virginians: clean air and water, thriving communities and rural landscapes, productive farms and forests, historic battlefields and Main Streets, and ample public lands and recreation.
Blair calls Richmond, VA home and lives with her two dogs and two cats. In her spare time she can be found volunteering on campaigns, enjoying Virginia’s outdoors, and paddle boarding as often as possible.
