We are thrilled to fund preservation partnership efforts such as the work of @CapRegionLand & @VirginiaDCR to conserve a portion of the Civil War's New Market Heights battlefield!
In January, CRLC closed on the purchase of more than 49 acres containing an 800-foot segment of original Civil War earthen fortifications known as the New Market Line. Thank you to @ABPPNPS for awarding CRLC a grant of $660,500 towards this acquisition!

#DidYouKnow almost 27 of the 50 billion gallons of streamflow that enter the Bay come from groundwater?
Groundwater is water that can be found under the earth’s surface, stored in the cracks and spaces between particles of soil, sand and rock. #GroundwaterAwarenessWeek
