RICHMOND—Gov. Bob McDonnell has announced that two state agencies will partner with Isle of Wight County to conserve more than 2,500 acres of forested land, some of which is along the Blackwater River.
According to a statement from the governor’s office, the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Department of Conservation and Recreation will help the county preserve 2,507 acres which helps protect a source of drinking water in Hampton Roads.
“The conservation of these 2,500 acres is another step forward toward our goal of conserving 400,000 additional acres of Virginia land by the end of my term,” McDonnell said Friday.
