Virginia protects 480 Potomac acres, linking to 7,000 acres of conserved land

Virginia's Kentucky Hills land, along the Potomac River, has recently received a permanent conservation easement to protect it. This easement covers 480 acres and aims to preserve significant wildlife habitats and cultural resources. Historically, the land was part of the Lee family's colonial plantation and has archaeological significance. A partnership facilitated this conservation effort with the goal of maintaining open space for public accessibility.
