Peter Furniss
Chief Executive Officer
Footprint Power
"We are in the electric power generation business and were entering a new community where we wanted to site a generating facility and begin building a name for our company. I knew about Virginia’s long and abiding experience in soil health and asked if she could put together an outreach program for us. Virginia nailed the assignment, reaching out to farmers and conservation groups in the surrounding area, helping to develop programs to support improved soil health and CO2 sequestration. With no more to go on than the bare outline of our objectives and a highly constrained budget, she designed and implemented an effective outreach program. Virginia has helped make Footprint a partner in the community. Our neighbors are grateful and so are we.”

“Virginia Lamb is a delight! After she gave a couple of wonderful presentations on composting and organic gardening in our town, I asked her if she could create a program for the frugal gardener. Of course, she came through for us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she is a first-class presenter and teacher. Always the professional, Virginia is a pleasure to work with.”
