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.

This 4,800-acre property lies between two Game and Inland Fisheries Management Areas. The property protects a key intact forest on the crest of Clinch Mountain in Washington County, and includes a series of unusual rock crevices called the Great Channels of Virginia. This area is a migratory stop for rare Cerulean warblers as well as many raptor species. |
