Nelson County, Virginia

Sunday marked the official end of Walking The Line, a group that’s been walking the route of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

“Starting in Highland County, we will follow as close as possible to the proposed path for 140 miles (1st leg) – Through Bath, Augusta and Nelson Co, and into the heart of Virginia; Buckingham County – the site of the proposed toxin-emitting Compression Station,” their Facebook page states.

  1. Is there a better way to spend two weeks than standing up for our mountains, streams, and farmlands? Add in solidarity with your neighbors and fellow Virginians, and you have a real winner. Let’s hope that more folks in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads learn about what the governor is allowing to happen in our communal garden and join with us in trying to advocate for an energy policy and economic investment that is clean and sustainable and does not use the power of eminent domain for corporate gain.
