Ask how you can support Virginia's Nongame Program. Protect marine animals from plastic trash. Don't throw trash into waterways. Plastic six-pack rings and discarded fishing line can entrap or strangle fish and waterfowl. And marine animals and seabirds can mistake plastics for real food, ingest them and die.
Sea turtles can mistake balloons and plastic bags for jellyfish, their favorite food.
Be a responsible park visitor. Enjoy Virginia's parks, but remember to respect the outdoors. When hiking, carry a bag and pick up litter. By taking a shortcut, you could damage sensitive habitat and increase soil erosion. When making campfires, use cut rather than fallen wood.
