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:	DCR's Natural Heritage Program received a grant award of $151,200 to purchase in fee 98 acres in Smyth County as an addition to Redrock Mountain Natural Area Preserve. This project would connect the Preserve with the nearby Clinch Mountain Wildlife Management Area and secure an inholding in one of Virginia's most significant contiguous forested landscapes. In addition, the project would protect a portion of the red siltstone cliff for which the mountain and the preserve are named, as well as four associated rare plant species and two rare natural communities. This project was withdrawn.
