The Nature Generation Partners with Middleburg Bank

· From pages 6 of the print edition

The Nature Generation, an environmental nonprofit, is pleased to announce Middleburg Bank as its new Sustainable Partner. As a partner, Middleburg Bank provides cornerstone financial support that allows The Nature Generation to make environmental stewardship education accessible to youth across the region.

Middleburg Bank generously supports The Nature Generation's environmental education programs and is a key sponsor of the Chapman DeMary Trail, an outdoor classroom in Purcellville, Va. which provides hands-on environmental learning opportunities to thousands of students and residents throughout the region.

"Middleburg Bank is an outstanding community-minded organization and has played an important role in our successes. They are generous financial contributors and also work collaboratively with us to directly inspire more kids to be good stewards of the earth - whether it's passing out Monarch-friendly milkweed seeds to their customers, helping to develop a pollinator habitat or sponsoring an environmental reading contest for 5,000 area students," said Ian Kline, chairman of The Nature Generation.

Middleburg Bank President and CEO Gary R. Shook commented, "We are extremely excited about this partnership. The Nature Generation shows exemplary leadership in both environmental stewardship and community outreach. I believe that by working together we can make a positive impact in Purcellville and the surrounding area."
