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 Conservation Fund was awarded a grant to purchase and conserve 87 acres of President James Monroe's Oak Hill, a National Historic Landmark, in Loudoun County. Constructed 1822-1823, the main house served as Monroe's residence during part of his presidency and most of his retirement. It is believed that he wrote the Monroe Doctrine while in residence at Oak Hill in 1823. The 87 acres also includes formal gardens, outbuildings, tenant houses, and an agricultural building complex. This property will be purchased from the current landowners and developed as a public park. The property will ultimately be open to the public, to interpret the history of the land and people who lived and worked there, as well as provide opportunities for walking, hiking, and wildlife watching. This project is part of a larger effort to conserve approximately 1,200 acres for historic interpretation and public recreation. The Departments of Conservation and Recreation and Historic Resources are key partners in this project. The Board of Historic Resources will hold an open-space easement on the property. |
