The Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy on Tuesday completed the purchase of JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary from JK Moving Services.
Over the past 20 months, the organization has leased the property and completed its first habitat restoration project in November. Last year, JK Moving placed the property under a conservation easement held by the Land Trust of Virginia to permanently protect the land from future development. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Natural Heritage Program determined that the property contains a globally rare wetland attributable to its geological setting and zoological resources.
