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.

A $150,000 grant was awarded to the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust for assistance in acquiring 11.2 acres within the City of Fredericksburg, which was the scene of intense fighting during the Battle of Chancellorsville. The parcel was threatened by intense development with the pending extension of Cowan Boulevard. The property is to be developed for public access with an interpretive trail and is now owned by Fredericksburg with an open-space easement held by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
