As leaders of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, we feel compelled to provide accurate information about our organization and our work to protect the Blue Ridge Parkway in response to the column: âCASEY: As 2020 drew to a close, the Blue Ridge Parkway lost a lot of âFriends,ââ by Dan Casey and published on July 10, 2021, by The Roanoke Times. Our nonprofit organization was not contacted for comment, though it is mentioned frequently in the piece.
First, we would like to commend the volunteers of the organization formerly known as the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway (now Friends of the Blue Ridge) for their hard work to beautify and enhance this national park unit. Their dedication to making the Parkway experience better for the millions of annual visitors is truly remarkable.
