The mission of the Clifton Institute is to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards, to learn about the ecology of the northern Virginia Piedmont, and to conserve native biodiversity. The WGC was delighted to help fund the new Gina Farrar Native Plant Garden at the Clifton Institute in memory of beloved member Gina, who's generous legacy to our club made this possible. The decision to recognize her life and commitment to conservation and education found unanimous support in our club.
