Regional Natural Gas Pipeline Projects


In fall of 2014, the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy passed a resolution to oppose the impacts of the Mountain Valley Pipeline on conserved lands, designated Wilderness Areas, the Appalachian Trail, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The land conservancy successfully petitioned Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC to remove its pipeline route from four lands protected by conservation agreements with BRLC.

We have also diligently petitioned Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC and our state and federal officials to adhere to- and when necessary go above and beyond- state and federal laws controlling erosion and sediment requirements for this unprecedented private infrastructure project.

Blue Ridge Land Conservancy executive director, David Perry, serves as the chairperson of the Roanoke County pipeline advisory committee. Land conservancy staff and volunteers have participated in numerous public meetings and listening sessions with elected officials since fall 2014. Land conservancy president-elect Diana Christopulos has been an active and essential advocate for ensuring both the federal government and the Commonwealth of Virginia take every step possible to ensure the safety of public and private lands, conserved lands, rivers, streams, and drinking water, should the pipeline be constructed.
​
As the fate of the Mountain Valley Pipeline plays out in the courts, the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy will continue to advocate on behalf of our region’s natural resources and its private landowners.

"We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
