The James River Park System easement was a level-up for CRLC. In 2009, CRLC worked with the City of Richmond Parks to record a conservation easement protecting the James River Park.
This 26.5-acre easement is located directly across from Dutch Gap Conservation Area, featuring mountain laurel-laden forests and bald eagle nesting habitat.
Three adjacent easements in rural Goochland County form a contiguous conservation area of over 270 acres, protecting water quality along the James River.
Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. donated 262 acres, complete with woodlands, a large pond, and James River frontage, to Chesterfield Parks in 2002.
