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: | NVCT purchased this 110-acre parcel, partially funded with a VLCF grant of $256,000. It is immediately adjacent to the heronry property, dedicated as part of the Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve in 2018. The newly purchased parcel has also been dedicated to DCR as an addition to the preserve and its conservation protects the heronry from encroaching development pressure. The property will be managed by DCR as part of the preserve, which allows public use. |
