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: |
In 2009, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) protected 420 acres of forestland in their South Quay - Phase I project funded by a VLCF grant. In the second phase of TNC's South Quay conservation effort, a grant of $155,000 was awarded for the fee-simple purchase of a 99-acre tract that supports a total of eight state rare plant species including 70 acres of Virginia native longleaf pine seedlings planted in 2012. Protection of this tract is an important component in the larger strategy to protect the South Quay conservation site and to restore native longleaf pine sandhill natural communities in Virginia. This project was withdrawn.
