Friends of Dragon Run is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation organized in 1985 by a group of Virginia's Middle Peninsula citizens who generously donated funds to purchase and preserve a 203 acre tract of Dragon swampland, near Churchview in Middlesex County. With assistance from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation staff and an affiliation with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, the purchase was made possible with tax deductible contributions.

Friends of Dragon Run now independently owns and manages this and additional wild areas for a total of 600 acres along the shoreline of the Dragon Run. Its members and the public enjoy the use of the property for purposes consistent with conservation and education.

Friends of Dragon Run pursues these objectives through continued cooperation with other appropriate conservation organizations, local governments and landowners. We have partnered with The Nature Conservancy and the Virginia Outdoors Foundation in various land acquisitions. As a result, 23% of the Dragon Run watershed is protected from future development. We have been a member of the Land Trust Alliance for more than a decade and have adopted its Standards and Practices.
