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.

This grant award of $146,205 funded partial purchase of a conservation easement on the McClevey Farm, 83 acres of farm and forest land in Stafford County. The property was identified as a priority parcel for conservation by the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration program due to its close proximity to Marine Corps Base Quantico. Protection of the McClevey Farm protects 47 acres of prime and statewide important agricultural soils. The conservation easement is held by Stafford County and the Dept. of the Navy. Water quality on the property is protected with approximately 7,900 linear feet of permanent vegetative buffer along perennial and intermittent streams and wetland.
