HISTORY & CULTURE
NVCT conserves land that has natural, historical, and cultural value to our communities.
Northern Virginia's landscapes tell the story of our region's natural and cultural heritage. From preserving historic Civil War-era properties to helping save River Farm through a community-wide conservation effort, NVCT is committed to protecting places that hold lasting significance.
At NVCT, we work to ensure that our region's natural, historical, and cultural landscapes are conserved forever.
Our Work so Far
We have an easement on Glebe House a designated Local Historic District, a Virginia State Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
We recently aquired Tank Creek, owned by General George Mason Cooke, the grandchild of the Founding father by the same name who wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which served as the basis for the United States Bill of Rights.
We have secured an easement on River Farm, ensuring that this site will remain a sanctuary for nature lovers, gardeners, horticulturists, and families across the region
