Land Near Conservation Easements in Central Virginia

Virginia's conservation easement tax credit program is among the strongest in the nation, and Central Virginia shows it — over 8,200 parcels in our coverage area are adjacent to Virginia Outdoors Foundation easements alone. These easements permanently protect open space, creating undevelopable buffers that boost privacy and habitat value for neighboring properties. The Piedmont Environmental Council, Blue Ridge Land Conservancy, and Land Trust of Virginia add thousands more protected acres across the region. LandMatch maps PAD-US protected area boundaries so you can find parcels that benefit from adjacent conservation without carrying the restrictions.
