Walking the Line into the Heart of Virginia June 16 – July 2

Jun 25, 2017 | Events, Pipelines

 

A celebratory walk along the proposed fracked-gas pipeline (ACP) path. See for yourself what is on the line – The forest habitats, mountains, farms and homes that are in danger of irreversible destruction.

Starting in Highland County, June 16, we will follow as close as possible to the proposed path for 150 miles (1st leg) – Through Bath, Augusta and Nelson Co, and into the heart of Virginia; Buckingham County, July 2 – the site of the proposed toxin-emitting Compression Station.

Our vision is for this to be a celebratory, peaceful walk of resistance, to share the stories of the communities and the beauty of the landscape that would be impacted, to raise awareness and help ensure that these ill-conceived plans do not come to fruition.

Together we can, must, and will prevail.

There are many ways to get involved – full and partial walks, day hikes, events, sponsorship, and plenty of other ways to support the walkers if you aren’t able to join the walk yourself!
