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 Natural Heritage Division acquired a 1.4-acre inholding within the Difficult Creek Natural Area Preserve in Halifax County near Scottsburg. The preserve supports a high number of significant natural heritage resources, many of which are fire-adapted. Acquisition of this inholding improves the ability to implement prescribed fires that are necessary to adequately manage and restore the vegetation and natural heritage resources. DCR acquired the property with the current owners/residents retaining a life estate. |
