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: |
Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation was awarded a grant of $123,000 to help purchase 31 acres to be added to SVBF's Third Winchester Battlefield Park, a 572-acre block of contiguous protected land in Frederick County that is open to and interpreted for the public. The project now helps protect a wildlife corridor and historic site from planned commercial development. The property, which is part of a commercial shopping center, was recently under contract to WalMart.
