Virginia Outdoors Foundation

The Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving open spaces, natural landscapes, farms, forests, and historic areas across Virginia. It works with landowners to protect these spaces through conservation easements, which are legal agreements ensuring land stays undeveloped while allowing private ownership and use. VOF coordinates with government agencies, communities, and landowners to conserve land for future generations, supporting sustainable outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat, and scenic beauty. Its goal is to balance private land rights with environmental protection, fostering a healthy, vibrant outdoors for Virginians now and in the future.
