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: |
The County of Spotsylvania was awarded $70,875 to assist in the purchase of 82 acres located within the Chancellorsville Civil War Battlefield and adjacent to National Park Service property. The Civil War Sites Advisory Commission of the National Park Service has given this battlefield a preservation priority of I.2 (good integrity, high to moderate threat, more than 20 percent protected). The property includes the site of the field hospital where the left arm of Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was amputated on May 3, 1863 following the Battle of Chancellorsville; Jackson died a few days later. This project was withdrawn.
