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.

A $100,000 grant was awarded to the Potomac Conservancy to purchase a conservation easement on Mount Pleasant Farm, an historic 106-acre property on Cedar Creek in Shenandoah County. The conservation easement will protect vital open space in a rapidly developing region; preserve battlefield land within the Cedar Creek Battlefield; provide a visual buffer on the boundary of Cedar Creek and Bell Grove National Historical Park; permanently protect three quarters of a mile of critical restored riparian land and habitat along Cedar Creek; and help to continue the strong agricultural tradition in the Shenandoah Valley.
