ሪችመንድ - በሮኪንግሃም ካውንቲ ውስጥ በመንግስት ባለቤትነት በተያዘው Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserving ላይ መሬቶችን መጨመር ለአንዳንድ የቨርጂኒያ ብርቅዬ ሥነ-ምህዳሮች ቀጣይ ጥበቃ እና አስተዳደር ይፈቅዳል።
የቨርጂኒያ ጥበቃ እና መዝናኛ ዲፓርትመንት በድምሩ 136 ሄክታር የሆኑ ሁለት ትራክቶችን አግኝቷል። ኩሬዎቹ በዓመቱ ውስጥ በሚለዋወጠው የውሀ መጠን ተለይተው ይታወቃሉ፣ ይህም ለየት ያሉ የእጽዋት እና የእንስሳት ስብስቦችን ይደግፋሉ፣ አንዳንዶቹም ብርቅዬ፣ ዛቻ ወይም ለአደጋ የተጋለጡ ናቸው።
"እነዚህ ትራክቶች አሁን በቋሚነት የተጠበቁ ናቸው እና የDCR የተፈጥሮ ቅርስ ሰራተኞች እዚያ የሚገኙትን ሀብቶች ተጠቃሚ ለማድረግ የማገገሚያ እንቅስቃሴዎችን ያካሂዳሉ" ሲሉ የDCR ዳይሬክተር ክላይድ ክሪስማን ተናግረዋል። "እነዚህ መሬቶች በቨርጂኒያ ብሉ ሪጅ ተራሮች ከሚገኙት ልዩ መኖሪያ ቤቶች እና ደኖች ምርጥ ምሳሌዎች መካከል ናቸው፣ እና DCR እነሱን እንደ የቨርጂኒያ የተፈጥሮ አካባቢ ጥበቃ ስርዓት አካል አድርጎ በማካተት ኩራት ይሰማዋል።"

In addition to helping protect the preserve’s sensitive areas, the new tracts are habitat for migratory songbirds and lie within the Upper Blue Ridge Mountains Important Bird Area, a National Audubon Society designation. The additions expand the preserve to 906 acres.
When staff and operations support are available, DCR plans to offer public access at the preserve.
“Virginia’s natural areas once surrounded us, but now we surround them,” said Jason Bulluck, director of the Virginia Natural Heritage Program at DCR. “Protecting these key additions to Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserve expands state and federal public lands with some of the best remaining examples of Virginia’s natural communities. In addition, protection of large ecological core areas like this help to ensure that plant and animal species are resilient to climate change and other changes to their habitats.”
The acquisitions were made possible with funds from the DuPont Natural Resources Damage Assessment and Restoration settlement. The Commonwealth of Virginia and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are trustees of the funds.
“We are thrilled to help our state partners expand their natural area preserve,” said Wendi Weber, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service northeast regional director. “To date, we’ve used the DuPont settlement funds to conserve more than 1,000 acres of land within the South Fork Shenandoah watershed, helping ensure space for our native wildlife and fantastic recreational opportunities.”
The Virginia Natural Area Preserve System was established in 1989 to protect the state’s rare plants, animals and natural communities. The system is made up of 63 preserves covering 57,656 acres. DCR owns most of the preserves, but several are owned by The Nature Conservancy, other nonprofits, universities or private individuals. Staff with the Virginia Natural Heritage Program at DCR manage these lands primarily to retain rare species habitat, but also to provide education, research and passive recreational opportunities.
Virginians may support the Virginia Natural Area Preserve System by making a contribution to the Natural Area Preservation Fund. Checks may be made out to “Natural Area Preservation Fund” and mailed to: Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Natural Heritage Program, 600 E. Main St., 24th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219.
