Henrico’s Environmental Action Resource Team (H.E.A.R.T.) pledges to reduce our impact on the environment.
The Henrico Environmental Action Resource Team (H.E.A.R.T) is made up of representatives from various Henrico County agencies all dedicated to pushing forward county efforts to promote sustainability, preserve natural resources, beautify the community and protect the environment. They serve as a think tank for the county’s environmental initiatives and aim to streamline such programs. Follow along as they make Henrico County and our environment a better place!
Exploring Henrico’s Environmental Initiatives
Hello! I am Stewart the Turtle! As H.E.A.R.T.’s mascot, I am a spokesperson for all things environmental. I will update the blog with H.E.A.R.T.’s initiatives and remind you to be GREEN! Together, we can make Henrico a greener and better space for all of its inhabitants — people and animals alike!

In partnership with Culture Encounters, the Children’s Museum of Richmond will host a new event series in 2024 called CultureFest Fridays! These events will occur on the first Friday of every month through June from 3:30-4:30 pm at CMoR’s Downtown Museum and will highlight specific regions’ diverse arrays of culture, cuisine, and art.
Families with children ages 0-12 are invited to experience immersive performances through live music, dance, or theatrical demonstrations, savor authentic dishes from countries around the world, and get creative with hands-on activities and workshops in the Art Studio. CultureFest Fridays will provide families with the unique opportunity to learn, play, and celebrate cultures celebrated in Richmond and beyond. Participation in CultureFest Fridays is included with Museum admission.

Henrico CASA is launching a new podcast, Vigilant Voices™
The Vigilant Voices™ podcast is hosted by Jeannine Panzera, Executive Director, and Kristin Blalock, Community Engagement Coordinator, of Henrico CASA. In their work with Court Appointed Special Advocates, they train and supervise volunteers who advocate for the best-interests of local children involved in the court and child welfare systems. Their experiences and observations led to the development of this podcast, where they will share their expertise on topics relevant to creating safe homes, healthy childhoods, and thriving communities.
Each episode of the podcast will address challenging issues with a lens of hope, while sharing steps all of us can take to help vulnerable children and ideally prevent abuse and neglect.
“At Henrico CASA we always hope for the day when Court Appointed Advocates are no longer needed because all children are growing up safe, secure, and supported by their families,” said Executive Director, Jeannine Panzera. “For that day to come, everyone in our community needs to understand the part they play in supporting families and preventing child abuse.
” Vigilant Voices™ is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Look for episodes to drop the first and third Tuesday of the month, starting March 7. More information on Henrico CASA’s mission, impact, and the Vigilant Voices™ podcast is available at www.HenricoCASA.org
