Associate Professor Ranjit Singh (Political Science and International Affairs) presented his research on Stafford County private landowners’ attitudes towards land conservation March 26th at the annual Environment Virginia Symposium at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. Thus far, Singh has interviewed 52 landowners in the county, which is a conservation “hotspot.” His research will continue through support from a Jepson Fellowship in 2019-2020. Singh has been invited to discuss his research at a stakeholders’ meeting with Stafford officials interested in strategic options for land conservation on April 8. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust.
