NFWF Grant Profile

Chesterfield County Soil and Water Conservation District will restore and enhance 1,638 acres of longleaf pine on private and public lands through longleaf plantings, mid-story hardwood removal, and prescribed fire. Project will expand upon a geospatial land-use inventory to help prioritize future restoration efforts, as well as a native understory seed collection effort, establishing 25 acres of native undestory plants that will benefit early successional and grassland-dependent species, such as bobwhite quail and Bachman's sparrow.
