The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) received a $110,000 Battlefield Land Acquisition Grant (CFDA #15.928) from the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service to support the non-federal acquisition and preservation of a 1-acre tract at the Buckland Mills Battlefield in Virginia. DCR will convey a conservation easement over the acquired land to the Virginia Board of Historic Resources, permanently protecting this historic battlefield site. The Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants program enables state and local governments, often partnering with non-profit organizations, to acquire and preserve threatened battlefield lands from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War through fee simple purchases or conservation easements. This project award, with a performance period from March 2024 to March 2027, contributes to the program's goals of conserving nationally significant battlefield landscapes and ensuring public access to these important historic resources.
