It is said that it is in our nature that we often don’t know the value of what’s lost till it’s gone.

Our work has been focused closely on designing, testing, and refining the tools of a ground-breaking Treasured Views program to Identify, Assess, Map, and Catalog Virginia’s special scenic places before they are threatened.

The protocols and methodology we have developed over three years with your encouragement and support draw on visual resource scholarship and expertise, original research, and existing visual analysis practices. Uniquely, however, our program combines the science-based with a strong emphasis on community values, public input, and participation in celebrating our scenic assets.

As we now turn to putting our nationally recognized Treasured Views program and its tool to work in more places and communities in 2025, your gift is critical to that journey and success.

Your gift now can double its impact! A generous, anonymous support, has committed a $5000 Matching Gift for this Giving Tuesday.

Please join us in making a matching gift as we work to preserve, protect and enhance Virginia’s scenic beauty.

Thank you!
