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: | This VLCF grant of $187,695 helped to fund the partial purchase of a conservation easement on an active 75-acre family farm in western Loudoun County. The project was a partnership between the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust and Loudoun County and also received funding from NRCS ACEP-ALE. Protection of the property enhances water quality with approximately 1,500 linear feet of permanent vegetated riparian buffers with livestock exclusion along an intermittent stream and conserves prime and statewide important agricultural soils that will remain available for agricultural use in perpetuity. |
