Seaford Yacht Club (SYC) was awarded the 2022 3rd Quarter Clean Business Award for their recycling efforts, use of native plants, and their commitment to the local environment. Founded in 1978, SYC is dedicated to enhancing the local nautical community with social events, educational opportunities such as summer sailing programs, and green practices. Recently, SYC planted six longleaf pine trees, which are native to Virginia and provide many benefits to the environment. The Beautification Committee and the Virginia Peninsula Clean Business Forum congratulates SYC on this award and commends them for their efforts!
