WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS and A REQUEST
We hope you have a wonderful experience in our big outdoors which is the NELSON SCENIC LOOP. We look forward to your comments and suggestions.
Please understand there are 50 miles of public roads that make up the NELSON SCENIC LOOP but much of the adjoining land is private or George Washington National Forest Wilderness Land. We ask that you be RESPECTFUL of these PROPERTIES and the PRIVACY of the Nelson residents who live and work here. The way of life here is a special one. There are no farms or residences open generally to the public. In this regard, please be on the lookout for cars entering the roads, children playing and respect the farm equipment traffic you encounter. This is a rural area and the roads are not meant for high speeds.
Enjoy yourself and learn about the history, culture and natural resources around the LOOP from the website www.nelsonscenicloop.com. Enjoy your visit to Nelson County, the public sites and trails and this wonderful environment.
Peter A. Agelasto III President, Rockfish Valley Foundation
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact The Rockfish Valley Foundation

I am a retired National Park Ranger and was the Ridge Distict Ranger on the Blue Ridge Parkway for 23 years. I have also written a book about my experiences as a ranger, "A Park Ranger's Life: Thirty Two Years Protecting Our National Parks." I would like to know if I could participate and or assist with your event at Skylark Farm. I can be contacted at my email address listed above and if you wish more information about my career and book you can go to my blog: http://www.aparkrangerslife.blogspot.com
