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.

| Description: |
Fauquier County PDR Program received a grant award of $52,047 for the purchase of a conservation easement on 168.5 acres of farmland. The Noland Farm is a working cattle and hay farm, and has 111 acres of prime soils and 15 acres of locally important soils. The family previously operated a dairy on this farm for over 40 years, and currently leases and farms adjacent farmland. The farm is adjacent to three other protected farms and the 271-acre state-owned Weston Wildlife Management Area. Inclusion of the Noland Farm will result in a contiguous block of 1,500 acres of farmland protected through the Fauquier County PDR program.
