Conservation and Agriculture

The Shenandoah Valley is one of our nation’s most iconic landscapes, rich in extraordinary natural and historic resources deserving of protection. Yet, permanent land protection and stewardship to protect these important resources face significant challenges.

Alliance for the Shenandoah Valley serves as a resource for landowners, providing accurate information and options for land conservation. The Alliance also partners with local land trusts to connect landowners with available conservation services. Additionally, the Alliance advocates for much-needed local, state and federal funding to support the protection of farmland, forestland and battlefields.
