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.

The City of Virginia Beach was awarded a grant of $165,000 to complete acquisition of a 17-acre tract of land situated along the North Landing River. The tract will be developed by the City as a gateway park for canoe and kayak access to the North Landing River, a state-designated scenic waterway with over 10,000 acres of conserved lands encompassing 15 miles of river shoreline. The project will help meet public recreation and resource conservation needs identified in the Virginia Outdoors Plan and 2016 City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan. More than one million people live within 20 miles of the property. This project was withdrawn.
