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: | Stafford County has acquired a VLCF grant to assist in the placement of an open-space easement on a Century Farm, the AP Legacy Farm. The easement will be held by Stafford County, under the County Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) Program. The property totals 73.35 acres and the primary land use is hay production and keeping of livestock. The easement will protect 41.4 acres of prime farm soils and soils of statewide importance; 11.9 acres of mixed forestland; and environmental features including 7,120 linear feet of forested perennial streams, 3.5 acres of wetlands, and special flood hazard area. The property falls within an ecological core and is adjacent to two conserved parcels under easement with VOF. The property was the site of the Brunswick Parish Glebe, one of two 18th century glebes in Stafford, owned by Parson John Waugh (1630-1706). The property is located along White Oak Road, a Virginia scenic byway, providing visual access to the traveling public. |
