The Targeted Environmental Remediation and Restoration Accounts (TERRA) grant program was established by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to administer funds resulting from legal and regulatory actions involving Virginia’s natural resources. It achieves this largely through grants. TERRA is subject to VOF’s high standards of transparency and accountability. All of our work is reported annually to the Virginia General Assembly and overseen by a seven-member board of trustees appointed by the Office of the Governor.
A Tool for Mitigation
TERRA can receive funds from a variety of legal and regulatory actions, such as:
- Mitigation plans
- Court orders
- Fines
- Civil, criminal, and administrative settlements
This fund was established in June 2018 using $15 million from a mitigation agreement between the Commonwealth of Virginia and Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC, which was signed in December 2017. Its purpose is to mitigate forest fragmentation caused by pipeline’s 303-mile right-of-way through Virginia. Grants will be used for projects that preserve, connect, and enhance forest resources.
