Land transfer to Rappahannock Tribe in Essex County, Virginia
Chief G. Anne Richardson of the Rappahannock Tribe sits next to U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland during an event to commemorate the transfer of ownership to the tribe of 465 acres along the Rappahannock River near Fones Cliffs in Essex County, Va., on April 1, 2022. Working in partnership with the Rappahannock Tribe and the Wilderness Society, the Chesapeake Conservancy purchased the land from a private lumber company with fiscal support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Angle Family, through Walmart's Acres for America program. The land includes the site of Pissacoak, one of three Rappahannock towns that historically occupied the land along Fones Cliffs, and has been placed into a conservation easement with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
