Protecting and Restoring Our Park's Rich History
Legends Park and Nature Sanctuary is an irreplaceable cultural and natural resource for the citizens of Petersburg and Southside Virginia. Preserving and protecting this valuable resource will only be achieved through the creation of a local culture built around the ideas of sustainability and active conservation. The Willcox Watershed Conservancy has taken the leadership role in building this culture through on-site education and action programs that bring the community together to help learn about the Park and how to be good stewards of this land for future generations.
Community
Stewardship
Legends Park and Nature Sanctuary belongs to all of us.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainable practices are not lofty ideas that cost a lot of money. They are really just smart ideas that make good sense when you stop and think about them. A bit of planning ahead of time can make resources go further and reduce work and negative impacts down the road. As the Willcox Watershed Conservancy continues its work restoring and preserving Legends Park, we will be sharing ideas with you. Letting you know what works and what we are trying as we build the community of support that will be necessary for the Park’s sustainable future.
Education
Legends Park is a ready-made outdoor classroom where students and teachers can explore and study the parks natural and cultural resources. Contact us if you would like to arrange a visit for your classroom or group.
