The EMERALD RIBBONS committee monitors environmental issues in Loudoun that underpin healthy ecological systems, such as the Limestone Overlay District, rivers, streams, and wetlands, steep slopes, and pollution sources. Its partner members conceived the Emerald Ribbons linear park concept adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2018.
