Fauquier County
“Fauquier County landowners placed 1,140 acres in conservation
easements last year. That brings the total conserved land in Fauquier to
approximately 97,748 acres — almost one-quarter of the county, according to the
Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council’s annual tally.
‘Fauquier County has long been a leader in recognizing the
importance of protecting its natural, scenic and cultural resources,’ PEC Land
Conservation Officer Maggi MacQuilliam said. ‘It’s also important that while
Fauquier is a statewide leader in land conservation, the conservation done here
is complementary to the service districts which are planned for development and
will allow our community to grow and thrive well into the future.’”
