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 VLCF grant for the protection of a 421-acre property in Amherst County. This unique project is a result of a collaborative between The Conservation Fund, Sweet Briar College (landowner), Virginia Outdoors Foundation, and the Monacan Indian Nation. The property, sitting atop Bear Mountain and Cedar Mountain, contains hundreds of acres of high quality hardwood forest in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sweet Briar intends to manage this property to maintain forest quality and wildlife habitat by maintaining 90% forest cover and 100’ forested riparian buffers, furthering the conservation efforts of surrounding landowners with several adjacent conservation easements. Additionally, the property is adjacent to land held and stewarded by the Monacan Indian Nation and will contribute to their efforts to protect Bear Mountain and the surrounding area from encroachment and development. Sweet Briar is committed to implementing one of the first cultural access easements in the commonwealth with the Monacan Nation to provide access to members of the Nation to further efforts on understanding and protecting the Nation's history in the area. |
