Department of Conservation and Recreation
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: | An easement on the 138 acres owned by Beaver Dam Legacy, LLC will permanently protect the agricultural viability of this farm, which is adjacent to three properties protected by VOF easements and within one mile of nearly 1,700 acres of protected land. The property fronts Beaverdam Creek, a tributary of Goose Creek, for 2,800 feet and contains a dwelling, barn and several outbuildings eligible for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places, which are also contributing structures to the Unison Battlefield Historic District. The property is bisected by, and the historic buildings are visible from, Newlin Mill Road, part of the Beaverdam Creek Historic Roadways District. Loudoun County designated these roadways to help preserve these mostly rural, unpaved roads that represent historical connections among farms, families, and markets that have changed very little since the county was formed. |
