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 grant award of $1,030,000 to Virginia Department of Forestry assisted in the purchase of the remaining two-thirds of the Brumley Mountain Property, for which a previous VLCF grant was awarded. This 4,800 acre property lies between two Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Management Areas. The property protects a key intact forest within the Clinch Mountain Complex in Washington County. This area is a migratory stop for rare Cerulean warblers as well as many raptor species. It includes a series of unusual rock crevices called the Great Channels of Virginia, which have become part of a 708-acre Natural Area managed by DCR. This is the first state forest in southwest Virginia, and will provide full public access. |
