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: | Capital Region Land Conservancy, in partnership with the City of Richmond, is seeking to acquire six acres located along the south bank of the James River adjacent to Ancarrow’s Landing. The property is across the river from Great Shiplock Park and is currently owned by Norfolk Southern and zoned for industrial use. The Richmond Riverfront Plan and James River Park Master Plan call for this property to become part of the city’s James River Park, as the path of the Richmond Slave Trail crosses the extent of it. |
