Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation in Southeast Virginia

Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation in Southeast Virginia

VOF and Mr. and Mrs. James G. Harrison III invite partners and landowners to celebrate 50 years of land conservation in the Southeast Region at Coggins Point Farm in Prince George County. Our work has resulted in the protection of approximately 50,000 acres of some of the region’s most cherished natural and cultural resources. Join us for presentations, light refreshments, and informative boat rides on the James River courtesy of the James River Association.

Questions or assistance on the day of the event may be directed to Jason McGarvey, (804) 314-9557.
