Donated to the Conservancy through two conservation easements, developer Lawrence Beamer wanted to ensure that the sensitive areas within the Powhatan Secondary subdivision were forever protected. Some of the land is located along and upstream of Cold Spring Swamp, which is adjacent to property the Conservancy protects in Ford’s Colony.

Forests, a stream that is a tributary of Powhatan Creek, and beautiful open space combine to make these lands, which are situated within the Powhatan Creek Watershed, a gem to conserve.
