Our Mission Chartered in 1998, the Blue Ridge Foothills Conservancy is a private, non-profit land trust working primarily in Madison and Greene counties in central Virginia. Our mission is to conserve, through voluntary land protection, the agricultural, scenic, natural, historic and recreational resources that define the rural character of our communities. Conservation Maps What We Do Land stewardship can take many forms -
Land stewardship and a respect for private property rights are deeply rooted traditions of the people of the Blue Ridge Foothills. Consistent with these traditions, the Blue Ridge Foothills Conservancy works directly with landowners to identify voluntary land protection options that meet each landowner's financial needs and also ensure that future generations can enjoy the special qualities of their land.
How You Can Help We welcome the support of residents, businesses, community organizations, and visitors to our counties. And we seek innovative partnerships to accomplish our mission of saving and protecting land in the Blue Ridge region. Make your donation payable to Blue Ridge Foothills Conservancy.
