 | Land Conservation: Kaine Reaches Land Conservation Goal |
 Governor Kaine announced on 8 Jan 2010 that his goal to conserve 400,000 acres of Virginia land has been reached. The final land tally was 424,103 acres, which includes about 46,000 acres placed under easement during the six months before Kaine took office in 2006 (counts were done by fiscal year). Several land purchases within the last six weeks of Kaine’s term helped reach the final goal. Conservation easements on private lands make up the largest piece of protected lands under Kaine’s goal, but through purchases, Virginia has also gained five state forests, three state parks, three wildlife management areas, and thirteen natural area preserves.
