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.

Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority was awarded a grant of $150,000 to assist in the acquisition of 294 acres on the Potomac River in Loudoun County for development into a public park. The property contains a Civil-War era historic house and complex. The riverfront and a tributary on the property are surrounded by wooded buffers. Development of the public park has begun with a parking area and a boat launch. Future planned park amenities may include related concessions, equestrian and nature trails, picnic shelters, camping, historic interpretation of the area, and a visitor center.
