Morven
UVA’s Sustainability Lab
We, Morven staff, acknowledge that this region of Virginia, including the Morven Property, is located on the ancestral home of the Monacan nation, the traditional stewards of the land and waters here. We acknowledge the legacy of slavery at Morven, the enslaved African people whose labor was exploited for generations, and the ways in which we benefit from that exploitation today
