New River Land Trust
Geographic Region: Counties of Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Montgomery, Pulaski and Wythe & cities of Galax and Radford.
The goal of the NRLT is not to conserve every acre of undeveloped land in the New River region but rather to conserve the most important land. In other words, conserve the land that sustains rural character, traditional livelihoods and vital natural/cultural resources.
