800 Fauquier acres put under easement in 2020
Piedmont Environmental Council
Fauquier’s highest concentration of conservation easements covers the county’s northeastern corner.
Every acre of protected land is land that helps prevent water pollution, preserve natural flood controls, promote groundwater recharge, and support local agriculture and carbon sequestration.
Chris Miller, Piedmont Environmental Council president
Private landowners in Fauquier last year placed 800 more acres under conservation easements, according to the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council.
That brings the Fauquier total to 109,487 acres permanently protected from development — representing 26 percent of the county.
The new acreage placed under easement here in 2020 dropped to its lowest level in more than a decade. Fauquier had averaged 1,728 new acres per year from 2011 through 2019. ....

Freedom Foundation, PEC break ground for U.S. Colored Troops monument in Culpeper


A Virginian’s long-held dream has begun to take shape at a Culpeper County crossroads.
Where Young’s Lane meets Madden’s Tavern Road near Lignum, allies recently broke ground for a monument to Black soldiers who marched into Confederate territory during the American Civil War, right past this spot.
The advance of the United States Colored Troops regiments, which crossed the Rappahannock River at modern-day Remington, marked Black troops’ entry into Gen. Robert E. Lee’s area of operations.
A new nonprofit, The Freedom Foundation, and a much older one, the Piedmont Environmental Council, have teamed to commemorate that event and all it represents, as well as two nearby historic sites, Madden’s Tavern and Ebenezer Baptist Church. The foundation has identified at least 120 USCTs who were born in Culpeper. ....
