                        Wednesday, July 15, 2026

  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding community organization in Virginia's 10th Congressional 
District, the Loudoun Nature Conservation Project (LNCP). The LNCP was 
founded and is led by students in our community. Its mission is to 
protect and clean up the local environment, as well as engage in 
education and advocacy efforts. Since its inception in 2024, the LNCP 
has grown to over 270 active members, who have partnered with 17 parks 
and schools, and restored more than 3,100 acres of local land.
  In addition to doing hands-on volunteer restoration work throughout 
Loudoun County, the LNCP is dedicated to exploring how our local 
environment has been changed overtime. For example, the LNCP has 
published three research studies on local water quality changes in 
Loudoun County, including in the Potomac River basin.
  It is very inspiring to see the dedication and time the LNCP has put 
into building a community passionate about preserving our nature. As a 
dad of two young girls, I want to make sure that future generations can 
continue to enjoy the great outdoors. I am grateful to LNCP for 
inspiring young people to care about the environment and thank them for 
all the hard work they do.
