One of the most special parts about being human is having the awareness and ability to appreciate beauty, especially in nature.
FOLAR is working with Scenic Virginia on a project to capture the best, most beautiful scenic views along the Appomattox River from the dam at Lake Chesdin to where the Appomattox River meets the James River in Hopewell, and YOUR INPUT is requested!
You know that Virginia is a beautiful place to be. Whether you enjoy this scenic beauty from your front porch, on daily drives, or during outdoor adventures, your favorite views are important and contribute greatly to your community’s quality of life. With your help, Scenic Virginia will share our community’s list of most valued scenic areas with local decision-makers and other interested parties to ensure awareness of these beloved places.
Join FOLAR and Scenic Virginia to learn more about this program and to share your favorite views along the Appomattox River in a mapping activity. All community workshops, no matter the date or location, follow the same format, so you are welcome to attend any of them!
