Description
Preservation Trust Fund- Easement Assistance Grants
Background
In 1997, the Virginia General Assembly created the Open-Space Lands Preservation Trust Fund (“the Fund”) (Virginia Code §10.1-1801.1) to help with costs of conveying an open-space or conservation easement, which may be prohibitive for some landowners. Funding for the program varies by year and is often limited. Some examples of eligible costs are fees charged by VOF, surveys, attorneys and appraisers.
Does My Land Qualify?
Each proposed open-space easement is evaluated for its scenic, scientific, natural, historic, recreational, or open-space value by VOF staff and Board of Trustees. The evaluation is based on conservation values as well as including financial need.
