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:	Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) received a grant award of $62,000 for the partial purchase of a conservation easement on 242 acres of forestland approximately one-half mile west of Drewryville in Southhampton County. Most of the property is covered in working forestland, almost half of which is classified as having high forest conservation value by the DOF. The property includes approximately 3,500 feet of Three Creek and 1,700 feet of Nicholson Creek, tributaries of the Nottoway River, maintaining water quality for downstream communities that use the river as a potable water source. The property contains two natural heritage resources as confirmed by Natural Heritage Division (DCR-NH) ecologists, and is part of an area designated by DCR-NH as the Three Creek Stream Conservation Unit.
