Support the Coastal Wilds
Support Virginia’s Coastal Wilds in a variety of ways!
GIVE LAND
Only 1% of Virginia’s coastal land is publicly owned. For those who don’t live on the water, getting access could be impossible.
Through the generosity of landowners, the Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority accepts land donations. Since 2006, we’ve added dozens of new parcels of waterfront land. Today, the Public Access Authority gratefully accepts land donations to support its mission in providing Virginians with water access.
Benefits of Land Donation
Not everyone has coastal land they can part with—and that’s why donors are so important!
By donating unwanted parcels, landowners:
- Leave a coastal legacy for the benefit of their community
- Inspire the next generation by providing adults and children with water access
- Support the economy of the Middle Peninsula by creating a new recreational site
- Receive income tax benefits
For more information, consult the Virginia Department of Taxation and your attorney or accountant.
Criteria for Land Donation
To be eligible to donate land to the Public Access Authority, your land must meet three criteria:
- Have a clear property title
- Be adjacent to the water
- Be in Virginia’s Middle Peninsula
Contact Lewis L. Lawrence at the Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority for more information on the process.

GIVE YOUR TIME, TALENT and TREASURE
Virginia’s Coastal Wilds grows thanks to the support of the community in the donation of time (we can use volunteers on these public access properties), talent (do you have in-kind services or items you can donate?) and treasure (we will gladly accept your monetary donation)!
