2015 ANNUAL REPORT

Page 2: ANNUAL EPORT 2015 - Land Trust of Virginia...Society and other conservation groups, including the Land Trust of Virginia, thousands of acres around Unison were officially recognized

In 2015, the Land Trust of Virginia continued to work hard building upon its past achievements while laying the groundwork for future successes.

Conservation EasementsLTV recorded easements on four remarkably diverse properties in four counties.

• A 2.78-acre easement in downtown Fredericksburg conserving a property that serves as a green oasis in an urban setting and is open to the public for gardening.

• A Clarke County easement protecting significant frontage on the Shenandoah River.

• An easement near Unison that expands the perimeter of conserved land surrounding that historic village in Loudoun County.

• A 297-acre easement that conserves highly visible farmland near Rectortown in Fauquier County.

LTV’s approved four other conservation easements in Loudoun, Fauquier and Stafford Counties that are sched-uled for recordation in 2016. In 2015, LTV’s staff also began work with four additional landowners on properties in Loudoun, Albemarle, Bath and Orange Counties.

As of the publication of our 2015 annual report in 2016, LTV has recorded easements on 375 acres in Stafford and Culpeper Counties, increasing the area we have protected to 15,145 acres. Thus far in 2016, LTV has approved eight more easements on over 1,600 acres in Loudoun, Fauquier, Culpeper, Albemarle and Bath Counties.

Stewardship

LTV considers it a privilege to help landowners with the donations of their easements. As is often the case, with privilege comes responsibility. For the Land Trust of Virginia our stewardship responsibilities are in perpetuity. In 2015, as a part of our annual stewardship responsibilities, LTV monitored every property on which we hold a conservation easement. These inspections are critical to the enforcement of the terms of our easements.

Strategic Conservation Studies

The Land Trust of Virginia completed its Blue Ridge Conservation Priorities Initiative, a study funded in part by a grant from the Virginia Environmental Endowment. The study covered 200,000 acres along a 40-mile length of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Shenandoah National Park to Harpers Ferry, WV. LTV mapped more than 20 categories of conservation values and natural resources and identified those properties within the study area with the highest occurrence of those twenty criteria. The results of the study established priorities for LTV’s conservation efforts along the Blue Ridge for the next several years.

Collaboration and Outreach

LTV continued its work with the Blue Ridge Conservation Alliance, a coalition of more than twenty conserva-tion organizations with a shared interest in the conservation of the Blue Ridge Mountains. LTV serves on the steering committee along with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Friends of the Blue Ridge, Piedmont Envi-ronmental Council and the National Wildlife Foundation.

LTV also expanded its engagement with the broader conservation community. At the state level, LTV partici-pated in the Virginia Union of Land Trusts conference held in Natural Bridge. At the regional level, LTV attended the SE Region Land Trust Alliance Conference held in Hendersonville, North Carolina. At the national level, LTV attended LTA’s annual convention (Rally) held in Sacramento, California. While there, LTV made a presentation at the Conservation Defense Network and provided commentary at a Risk Assessment seminar given by LTA’s Conservation Defense Director.

Legacy Giving Fund

The Land Trust of Virginia’s Legacy Giving Fund was established in 2013 by a generous bequest from a long time Board member, Steffanie Burgevin, as part of her estate planning. In 2015, Joseph A. Miller included a signifi-cant bequest to LTV in his will of his beautiful 22-acre property in Prince William County. We hope that through their planned giving, Steffanie’s and Joe’s leadership will serve as an inspiration to others who support the long-term conservation efforts of the Land Trust of Virginia.

The Board of Directors of the Land Trust of Virginia wishes to thank our many donors, friends and landowners for their generosity. We cannot do what we do without your help. We consider it a measure of our success that we have earned your trust.

For the Board,

Christopher C. DematatisChairman

For nearly twenty-five years the Land Trust of Virginia has worked with property owners to conserve land in the Com-monwealth. A strength that LTV has developed over the years is the ability to work with these landowners to plan conserva-tion easements that protect the unique blend of conservation values occurring on their properties. While conserving open space, forests and water resources, LTV also plans these ease-ments to respect and conserve the history and culture of Virginia.

Through its Rural Village Initiatives, LTV has made a special effort to work with landowners in and around historic villages such as Hillsboro, Waterford, Lucketts, Upperville, Unison, Aldie and Buckland to maintain and protect the rural charac-ter of the landscape surrounding their communities in Loudoun and Fauquier Counties.

In 2015 Bob Petit and Sandy Wilson donated a conservation easement to the Land Trust of Virginia that conserves their estate, Persimmon Ridge, located just north of Unison. They had recently completed a lengthy renovation of their Quaker fieldstone farmhouse, parts of which date back to 1752, and wanted to ensure that the land around it would remain largely as it has been since before the Revolutionary War.

Through their easement donation, Bob and Sandy joined a growing number of property owners who together have protected roughly eight square miles of land in and around Unison. This impressive number is a testament to the love of place shared by the residents of a village that is so rich in history. In 1862, Confederate and Feder-al soldiers engaged in a series of skirmishes in Aldie, Philomont, Unison and Upperville before J.E.B. Stuart and his troops escaped to the Shenandoah Valley. In 2012, after many years of work by the Unison Preservation Society and other conservation groups, including the Land Trust of Virginia, thousands of acres around Unison were officially recognized as a Core Civil War Battlefield Area.

Lori Keenan McGuinness, LTV easement donor and Co-Chair of the Goose Creek Association, observed, “One of the great aspects of our community is how like-minded organizations, each with a different focus, pull together to achieve a greater good. We all work together to preserve our cultural and environmental heritage.”

Such community efforts are evident in historic villages throughout Loudoun and Fauquier Counties, a number of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Land Trust of Virginia is proud to work within these communities and to help landowners conserve the precious natural and historic resources occurring on their properties.
