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 City of Virginia Beach was awarded $1,200,000 for the fee-simple acquisition of a 26-acre property along Indian River Road, a Virginia Byway. The southwestern portion of the property is within Gum Swamp, a mature, vulnerable Cypress-Tupelo swamp forest that forms the headwaters of the Virginia Scenic North Landing River. The property will offer daily public access for land-based and water-based recreation, wildlife viewing, and education and research opportunities in and along these groundwater-emergence headwaters. The site is near other public nature areas including Stumpy Lake Natural Area, the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail – Seashore to Cypress Loop, and the Gateway to the Green Sea, a boundary around the North Landing River watershed adopted as a regional greenway plan. The property is identified as a conservation priority and designated as North Landing Gum Swamp Natural Area and Conservation Site by DCR Natural Heritage in two Conservation Planning reports completed for the city. The site is also where the Southeastern Greenway Trail is planned, one of four citywide spines of the city's linear park and trail system. |
