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: | This DCR-Division of Natural Heritage project was awarded the remaining funds needed to complete the acquisition of 156 acres as an addition to Pedlar Hills Natural Area Preserve in Montgomery County. In FY22, a VLCF grant was awarded for $515,000 for the acquisition, however the subject property proved to be more expensive than originally proposed. The property is adjacent to the preserve and comprised mostly of forested slopes that serve as important habitat buffer for the preserve and provide daily public access. The property lies within the Pedlar Hills Conservation Site and has a biodiversity rank of B1 - the highest rank possible - due to a suite of highly viable rare species habitats and rare woodland natural communities. This property would help close a broad gap between parts of the preserve, protect a sub-population of a federally-endangered plant, protect a large swath of forest, and improve management access to the preserve. This project was withdrawn. |
