Since 1986, the Virginia Natural Heritage Program has worked to conserve Virginia’s biodiversity through science-based inventory, protection, and stewardship. Our biologists collect, organize, and share essential information used to safeguard rare plants and animals, cave and karst features, and natural communities.
From discovering species new to science and building digital tools that make conservation data widely accessible, to establishing and managing a statewide system of Natural Area Preserves that protects critical habitats, our work expands knowledge of Virginia’s natural treasures and enhances the Commonwealth's environment and quality of life.
Join us as we celebrate 40 years of identifying, protecting and managing Virginia’s most extraordinary plants, animals, geology, natural communities and places!
