Washington, D.C. (August 4, 2020) – On July 23, 2020,
the National Park Trust transferred ownership of 239 acres of land in
one of the most popular areas of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail
(A.T.) near Troutville, Virginia to the National Park Service. In the
fall of 2018, the Park Trust volunteered to support the Appalachian
Trail Conservancy (ATC) in the acquisition of the property in Hogan
Hollow, Virginia. The landowner wanted to sell before the National Park
Service could accept the acreage, so in June 2019, the Park Trust worked
with The Conservation Fund to acquire and temporarily hold the property
until it could become part of the A.T. Read the story https://www.parktrust.org/national-park-trust-helps-protect-popular-scenic-view-on-the-appalachian-trail-in-virginia/
