Capital Region Land Conservancy (CRLC) is dedicated to conserving the natural and historic resources of Virginia’s Richmond region for the benefit of people and nature.
CRLC was founded in 2005 as the area’s only land trust devoted specifically to conservation of the City of Richmond and surrounding counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan as well as the Town of Ashland. We are proud to have conserved more than 14,000 acres of land in this special region so far.
With the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, CRLC’s service area has expanded to meet the demands of growth in the area.
- The Pamunkey River and its tributaries in New Kent, King William, Hanover, Caroline, and Louisa counties.
- The Central Piedmont Wildlife Biodiversity Resilience Corridor along the Appomattox and James Rivers spanning the counties of Dinwiddie, Chesterfield, Amelia, and Powhatan, Goochland, Fluvanna, and Cumberland.
- Areas not primarily served by another land trust within an hour of Richmond including Petersburg, Hopewell, Colonial Heights, and Prince George County.
