Land conservation
organizations in Virginia
Similar to public agencies that conserve land, there are many private,
nonprofit conservation organizations that do so. Each typically
serves a particular region of the state and/or exists for a
particular purpose, such as habitat protection or historical
preservation. Organizations focusing mainly on land protection are typically
called land trusts or conservancies.
