10,000 acres
Four recent donations to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation bring total Rappahannock land protected by conservation easements to 10,047 acres. Three of these each permanently merge previouslyexisting lots of record into parcels which cannot be subdivided - Dyke and Judith Halle’s property on Route 231 at the Hazel River, Susan and Bruce Jones’ land on Long Mountain Road, and the John and Brenda Van Ness farm in Gid Brown Hollow..
The fourth new easement cements a “win-win” arrangements among landowners, county and state: the Board of Supervisors in effect relaxed an existing restriction on Bob Bridges, Gid Brown Hollow holding in return for an amendment to a previous easement that closes out a possible family subdivision and brings additional acreages under protection. These are the first donations in Rappahannock County potentially eligible for the new Virginia income tax credit for easement contributions. Anyone with questions or those desiring additional information should contact Bob Dennis at 364-2569.
