History
In 1975, The Nature Conservency helped purchase 80 acres of the former Riverview Farm in order to protect it from encroaching development. With a federal grant, 97 more acres of farmland was added in 1981. Additionally, the City of Charlottesville added 38 acres along the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir.
