Blue Ridge Parkway accepts gift of land
April 14th, 2010The Blue Ridge Parkway grew by nearly 50 acres this week when the National Park Service accepted a gift of land from the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, the Ashevile Citizen-Times reports.
The 48.7-acre Roaring Fork Headwaters tract is on the border of Alleghany and Surry counties near Milepost 220.5. It is adjacent to 201 acres conveyed by the conservation trust to the park service in 2007.
The two properties are near the 3,400-acre Saddle Mountain Wilderness Area and 1,000-acre Cumberland Knob National Recreation Area, which are both in Virginia.
