Happenings Around the Blue Ridge, March 2, 2023
A shout out to Friends of the Blue RidgeMountains
Charles Houston authored a nice Shout Out to Friends of the Blue RidgeMountains in the February 2023 edition of The Blue Ridge Leader & Loudoun Today
“Memo to Friends of the Blue RidgeMountains – This group is a diligent advocate for what is probably our most important natural asset – the mountains that are the scenic backdrops to the rest of the county. It’s imperative that they be protected …”
Thank you for the recognition, Mr. Houston.
