The Burwell-van Lennep Foundation (BVLF) was founded in 1967 to preserve a large tract of unique, historic land in Clarke County, Virginia.
This foundation protects 944 acres of land in the Shenandoah Valley containing a valuable combination of ecosystems including hardwood forest, pasture, mountain hollow, and a mile of Shenandoah River surrounding a 100 acre island. This property has been historically called the "Island Farms".
The mission of the Foundation includes preserving the diverse ecology of this land, protecting wildlife, and environmental education. BVLF generously donates the land that BRWC operates on at zero cost.
