Upcoming Events

Introduction to the VCAP Program

October 22, 2025

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Essex County Public Library (Tappahannock), Tappahannock, VA 22560, USA

The Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP) is an urban cost-share program that provides financial incentives as well as technical and educational assistance to property owners installing eligible Best Management Practices (BMPs) in Virginia’s participating Soil & Water Conservation Districts. These practices can be installed in areas of your yard where problems like erosion, poor drainage, or poor vegetation occur. Qualified sites shall be used for residential, commercial, or recreational purposes with a proposed practice that addresses a need. Most practices are eligible for 80% cost-share and some practices provide a flat incentive payment up to the installation cost.

VCAP can help you:
Restore problem areas
Control and minimize erosion
Conserve water within the landscape
Improve riparian buffer areas
Promote wildlife habitat
Re-vegetate bare slopes
Stabilize drainage ways
Treat storm water runoff
This course discusses eligibility requirements, eligible BMPs, and the overall process.
