The Chesterfield Conservancy is a new private nonprofit conservation organization. We believe that Chesterfield County and the surrounding central Virginia countryside represent a vital and irreplaceable resource to both the present and the future. Our mission is to promote the conservation, protection, and wise use of the open space and natural resources here in our own backyard. We are doing this by educating landowners and others, and by working in partnership with the county government to promote conservation goals for the benefit of the public.
