In 2020, the state of Virginia commemorates 50 years of dedication and commitment to the conservation of Virginia’s water resources through the Virginia Scenic Rivers Program. In honor of that anniversary, PEC Fellowship program participants, Meredith Hickman and David Malcolm, created a StoryMap that celebrates the ten designated scenic rivers in The Piedmont Environmental Council’s region.
The Scenic Rivers Program safeguards some of the most important waterways of Virginia and ensures the health and accessibility of our watershed for the communities of the Piedmont. This StoryMap helps tell the story of this vital conservation program, where it is today, and where it can go with your support.
