About

Mission:
Encouraging the sustainable use of Virginia landscapes and grasslands for native biodiversity.

Our goal is to:

  • Create a community network to promote dissemination of information from neighbor to neighbor.
  • Network landowners with state and federal agencies that can provide them with specific technical and financial assistance.
  • Establish and highlight demonstration sites that showcase best practices for different land uses, including opportunities for landowners to visit and tour working farms that serve a dual purpose in agricultural production and biodiversity.
  • Advance the science of land management and develop best practices relevant both to working farmers and conservationists.
