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:	The Taylors Mill Farm project received a VLCF grant in FY23 for $400,000 and DOF is receiving additional funds to cover the unexpected higher cost of the required boundary survey due to the difficult terrain, lack of any prior survey, and limited number of bidders willing to undertake the work. The property is a family-owned farm that lies on the boundary of Fountains Creek, southeast of Emporia in Greensville County. This property is approximately 1,145 acres, of which 860 acres are forested with high conservation value forest (FCV 4/5). The property contains nearly seven miles of perennial and intermittent streams, and 640 acres of wetlands. Approximately 285 acres are in tillable farmland, the majority of which is Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Additionally, an Ecological Core is ranked C1 (Outstanding).
