Land Conservation
Virginia's lands need protection and preservation now more than ever. Successful land conservation requires action and initiative at all levels that is geared toward the protection of a diversity of lands.
Why Is Land Conservation Important?
If current trends continue, over the next 40 years Virginia will lose as many acres of farms, forests, and natural lands to development as have been lost in total in the 400 years since the Commonwealth was settled by Europeans.
Battlefield Preservation
The key to successfully courting heritage tourists is to preserve and enhance Virginia’s rich and equally authentic Civil War legacy.
