VaULT - Virginia's United Land Trusts

Virginia’s United Land Trusts (VaULT) serves as the statewide umbrella organization representing the 29 private, non-profit organizations working to conserve Virginia’s natural, cultural, historic, scenic and recreational resources and working forests and farmlands.

Prompted by the challenge of protecting 20% of the Chesapeake Bay watershed by 2010, VaULT initiated a visioning and planning process in 2001 to develop a statewide strategy for achieving this ambitious land conservation goal. In June 2001 VaULT co-hosted a visioning conference with the Virginia Department of Forestry to identify what systems and resources must be in place to not only meet the Chesapeake Bay watershed goal, but to protect significant natural and cultural resources throughout the Commonwealth. 

In 2008, VaULT hosted its second annual statewide land trust conference in Staunton. The event's highlight came with a keynote by Governor Tim Kaine, who lauded the land trust community's efforts in working toward his adminstration's goal of protecting an additional 400,000 acres of land during his four-year term.
