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: | Clarke County Conservation Easement Authority received a $200,000 VLCF grant to place an easement over Windfield Farm in Clarke County. The farm has been owned by the same family for more than 44 years. The 127 acres of farm and forestland are currently managed under a forest management plan, and an Agricultural Conservation Plan is under development with the local Soil and Water District. Almost half of the soils on the property are prime or important farmland with 60 acres in forestal use. The property contains 10 acres of wetlands from an oxbow and ½-mile of frontage along the Shenandoah River, a designated state scenic river. The Department of Historic Resources has an established Native American archaeological site on file for this property and the Division of Natural Heritage identified potential habitat for a rare isopod and plant, as well as the Department of Wildlife Resources showing potential habitat for the rare Northern Long-eared bat and the Wood Turtle. Protection of this property is supported by the County Comprehensive Plan for protection of karst terrain, steep slopes, and areas along the Shenandoah River. |
