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 New River SWCD was awarded a VLCF grant to acquire and protect Wilson Hollow, two tracts totaling 239-acres in Grayson County. This project will provide new public access for recreational boating, fishing and wildlife viewing, hiking, and nature-based photography – and will provide an important opportunity to secure public access for a historically economically depressed and socially vulnerable region of Virginia, while protecting significant natural resources. The property contains a diverse mix of forestland, water resources, and open grassland habitats that support a wide variety of wildlife species. The New River SWCD, as the owner and operator, would protect these resources by protecting native plant species, removing invasive species and correcting other environmental disturbances, as well as maintaining 1,000’ forested riparian buffers along 14,080 feet of streams and river frontage. Additionally, the New River SWCD commits to continue to raise awareness and promote educational opportunities of these essential ecosystems for their community. |
