VLCF Funded Projects
Virginia’s working farms and forests, battlefields and other historic sites, natural areas, parks and rivers are critical to its economy, culture and quality of life. In 1999, the assembly and governor established the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) to fund protection of these resources. The interactive map below depicts VLCF-grant projects funded since 2000.

| Description: |
A $362,400 grant was awarded to Brandy Station Foundation to facilitate the acquisition of 18.9 acres of land in Culpeper County near Fleetwood Hill, the site of some of the heaviest fighting of the afternoon phase of the Battle of Brandy Station. The property was purchased from a developer who had already obtained building permits for a residential development that would have destroyed the historic and scenic value of the property. The property is now instead open to the public with signage, interpretive displays, and brochures, an interpretive walking path, and a visitor center.
