Land Conservation

Your support helps Willowsford Conservancy protect and care for more than 2,300 acres of open space across Loudoun County. From forests and meadows to streams and wildlife habitat, these landscapes require ongoing stewardship to remain healthy and resilient. Contributions to the Land Stewardship Fund directly support hands-on conservation work that improves habitat, supports wildlife, protects water quality, and engages the community through nature-based education and volunteer participation, including citizen science and monitoring programs, preserving the natural character of the land for the benefit of the broader community.

Donations may support:

• Invasive species management and removal

• Meadow, forest, and habitat restoration

• Stream and riparian buffer restoration to improve water quality

• Native plantings that support pollinators and wildlife

• Wildlife habitat monitoring, including launching a reptile and amphibian population monitoring program

• Nature-based education development and volunteer engagement through citizen science

• Trail and open space stewardship that balances access and conservation

• Equipment, materials, and seasonal field work needed to maintain these landscapes
