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: | The Department of Forestry received a grant to secure a 1,491.40-acre conservation easement to protect working forestland in Dinwiddie County. The project will also protect riparian lands along White Oak Creek, designated as Threatened & Endangered Species Water by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources due to the presence of Roanoke Logperch, a state and federally endangered fish. The landowner wants to continue stewarding the land as working forestland and remove the possibility of major development. The project aligns with the locality's comprehensive plan, the Virginia Outdoors Plan, and efforts to protect the flight path between Ft. Barfoot and Ft. Gregg-Adams. This project would more than double VLCF's acres protected in Dinwiddie County. |
