Stretching almost 500 miles through North Carolina and Virginia, the Blue Ridge Parkway provides visitors with a series of panoramic views, protects significant mountain landscapes, and is a "museum of the managed American countryside."
The protection of the Parkway and surrounding region is an immense task, with much at stake. The Parkway of tomorrow will be defined by the extent to which people today are willing to speak out on behalf of the Parkway and to invest in its future.

Young people at area visitor centers have the opportunity to give presentations on regional geology, botany, zoology, and ornithology. This gives young volunteers the chance to present visitors with informative and fun information on the Blue Ridge Parkway regions that the young people, themselves, are interested in.
