 | Land Conservation: Northern Virginia Conservation Trust Plans to Expand Network of Green Space |
 The Northern Virginia Conservation Trust has plans to create a regional network of green space in Northern Virginia, an initiative known as “Connecting Our Green Spaces.” Its goal is to “fill the gaps” in the region’s “green infrastructure,” a system of interconnected public parks, natural areas, stream valleys, and hiking trails. The trust has also created an emblem to brand projects that will focus on connectivity between forests, wildlife, water, and trails. The trust hopes to make it possible for a larger percentage of the Northern Virginia community to live within a short walk of a trail, park, stream valley, or preserved natural area. The trust president said that now is the time to protect properties, during a lull in construction while land is cheap. Northern Virginia Conservation Trust was founded in 1994 and has preserved 5,370 acres in Northern Virginia, holding 92 conservation easements and owning 21 properties.

The trust has identified four projects to start the new initiative: Alexandria Green Crescent would connect a series of waterfront parks along the Potomac with protected green spaces along the Cameron Run Watershed; Arlington Ashlawn Trail would link up four County and regional parks along Reeves Run; Fairfax Clifton Trail would join parks in the town of Clifton with Hemlock Overlook Regional Park; Bull Run Headwaters Initiative would “provide the missing ‘belt buckle’” in a proposed Washington Greenbelt, running from the mouth of the Occoquan River to the Bull Run Mountains.
