Departamento de Conservación y Recreación (DCR) 
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 Capital Region Land Conservancy received a grant award of $687,500 to assist in the fee simple acquisition of approximately 471 acres in Henrico County containing prime farmland, forested cover with a high level of forest conservation value, roughly 7,000 linear feet of streams, and a portion of the James River-Turkey Island Creek Stream Conservation Unit. The property lies within the core and study area of the 1862 Civil War Battle of Malvern Hill and is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places, primarily for the archaeological and architectural significance of the brick ruins of the late 17th century manor house present during the 1862 battle, but burned in a 1905 fire. Union Army Commander George B. McClellan also occupied this house as his headquarters and signal station during the Battle of Malvern Hill. Malvern Hill also witnessed the encampment of General Marquis D. Lafayette in 1781 as well as the Virginia Militia during the War of 1812. A 12-acre portion of the property is being developed for use as a canoe/kayak launch into Turkey Island Creek, which will not only provide public access to this estuary of the James River, but also to the adjacent Virginia Capital Trail, Presquile National Wildlife Refuge, and Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/historic-registers/043-0008/ https://www.vof.org/2020/08/15/turkey-island-creek-henrico-county/ |
