What's Happening in the Richmond Region? The Land Conservation View by Parker Agelasto, Executive Director of the Capital Region Land Conservancy.
With only about 6% of the land protected in the Richmond region, the small but mighty Capital Region Land Conservancy is making its best effort to conserve land for future generations. That includes working lands like forests and farms, important natural habitats, and equitable public access to nature for all our residents. Learn how CRLC has contributed to the ambitious goals outlined in President Biden’s 2021 Executive Order committing to the conservation of 30% of the land in the United States before 2030. How has the Richmond region been doing and what might a path forward look like to support these efforts?
Parker has an MBA from UVA’s Darden School of Business, a Master of Arts in Art History, also from UVA, and a BA from Bates College. He serves on the board of Virginia’s United Land Trusts and VIRGINIAforever. Parker has been with CRLC since September 2015 and has helped to conserve over 4,000 acres of land. He has developed collaborative relationships with elected officials and planning staffs across the region to better coordinate strategic land conservation. His experience with land conservation is also personal; his family owns a 200 acre property in Nelson County along the Rockfish River (a tributary of the James River) that is protected under a conservation easement.
