About

Who we are.

Virginia Parks Matter is a group formed by the concerned citizens of the DMV area. We’re concerned for the economy, the safety of our children and the safety of our planet. Head by Debra Butler who moved from New York City to find beauty and nature, Virginia Parks Matter is trying to stop beltway expansion and save our pristine parks. Virginia is known for its beauty and escape for the busy lives of the city. Where will we go when this becomes just another town wrapped around a busy highway? Where will we make our escape?
