PEC and partners from the Wilderness Battlefield Coalition held a community town hall on October 25, 2022 at the Locust Grove Middle School to share information about the proposed Wilderness Crossing rezoning and development in Orange County, VA. It was great to see ~200 people show up to learn more about the proposal and ways to stay involved.

Below are the presentation slides. We’ve also included a recording of the part of the presentation about gold mining. We encourage you to share this webpage and YouTube link to the gold mining presentation with your neighbors and friends.

The Wilderness Battlefield Coalition include PEC, Central Virginia Battlefields Trust, Friends of Wilderness Battlefield, Journey Through Hallowed Ground, Preservation Virginia, American Battlefield Trust, National Parks Conservation Association, and National Trust for Historic Preservation.
