Las granjas y los bosques, los campos de batalla y otros sitios históricos, las áreas naturales, los parques y los ríos de Virginia son fundamentales para su economía, cultura y calidad de vida. En 1999, la asamblea y el gobernador establecieron la Fundación de Conservación de la Tierra de Virginia (VLCF) para financiar la protección de estos recursos. El mapa interactivo a continuación muestra los proyectos subvencionados por VLCF financiados desde 2000.

| Descripción: | The Nature Conservancy was awarded a grant of $166,305 for the fee simple acquisition of this property by Isle of Wight County. It is now protected by an open-space easement jointly held the the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Department of Forestry, which protects the old-growth swamp forest of bald-cypress and tupelo and contributes to restoration of globally rare longleaf pines, and which supports the federally endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker. The acquisition also contributes to protection of drinking water for over 700,000 residents in the Norfolk metro area, including Department of Defense installations. https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/natural-heritage/natural-area-preserves/blackwatersandhills |
