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.

Trails are not trails unless someone maintains them! Fallen trees, erosion from flooding, and general leaf litter are just a few of the things that contribute to the need for trail maintenance. Partner and Park Staff efforts keep trails safe and enjoyable to use, while minimizing their environmental impact.
