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.

The remaining 285 acres are tillable cropland, and found to be Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. An ecological core found on the property is ranked - C1 Outstanding, the highest possible score. This is a family-owned farm that has been in the same family for three generations. A Dept. of Forestry easement will protect sensitive bottomlands, require riparian buffers on perennial streams, and ensure that future generations may continue to own and manage its farmlands and forests in perpetuity. |
