Introduction to the VCAP Program

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.
