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.

Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation received VLCF grant funds of $302,000 to assist in the purchase of 108 acres of land containing 4,600 linear feet of frontage on the James River at the confluence of the river with Falling Creek, southeast of Richmond. The property, which is just north of Drewry's Bluff National Park, is planned to be developed as a public park for walking, biking, nature observation. It will include a boat-launch facility at Falling Creek. The project will serve as a major segment of the James River Linear Park and Trail.
