Nelson : Nellysford : Spruce Creek Park Volunteer Work Day
©2018 Blue Ridge Life : Photos By BRL Photographer Kat Turner : Volunteers help load up cleared brush this past Sunday – March 18, 2018 as part of the Spruce Creek Park Volunteer Work Day just south of Nellysford.

Nellysford / Spruce Creek Park
Nelson County, Virginia

We’ve been telling you about Spruce Creek Park just south of Nellysford for years. It’s a special park just behind the Rockfish Valley Natural History Center. For the past several years it’s been getting a makeover and lots of improvements.

This past Sunday lots of volunteers took advantage of full sunshine and pleasant temps to help cleanup the park and get it ready for summer.

Volunteers helped clear brush in preparation for the installation of a new gaga-ball pit.

Our photographer that took these photos put the camera down for a second for a photo with Erika Howsare (right) who helped coordinate the cleanup. Kat also volunteered this past Sunday at Spruce Creek.

Above more photos from Sunday’s Spruce Creek Park Volunteer Work Day.

There’s a Rockfish Valley Foundation trails clean up scheduled for next weekend. If you’d like to help the best way to contact them for more info about volunteering is through their Facebook Page by clicking here.

Kudo to everyone that helped out this past Sunday!

Nelson : Lovingston : Home Remedies Mercantile and Exchange Holds Soft Opening
©2018 Blue Ridge Life Magazine : Photos By BRL Photographer Katherine Turner : It’s official! Employees, family & friends got together for the soft opening of the Home Remedies Mercantile and Exchange store in Lovingston. Saturday – March 17, 2018. (L to R) Savannah Ramsey, Sarah Griffith, Winnie Griffith, Morgan Griffith, Daniel Griffith Adrienne Young-Ramsey, Luke Ramsey, Noah Boncales and Elijah Ramsey.

Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia

“Living in a rather remote, rural area can make it challenging to access the kinds of healthful, Eco-friendly products, useful tools, repurposed treasures and antiques we choose for our farm and family.”

That’s the philosophy behind the opening of Luke and Adrienne Ramsey’s Home Remedies Mercantile and Exchange store in Lovingston. It’s located at 121 Main Street.

The couple held a soft opening this past Saturday with plans to include more and more items along the way.

They’re offering eggs and meat (beef and lamb) from their farm, butter,  milk, cheese & ice cream from Trickling Springs Dairy.

Congrats Luke & Adrienne! Look for more on their store soon!

Nelson : Wintergreen : Opponents Peacefully Gather Against Atlantic Coast Pipeline
©2018 Blue Ridge Life Magazine : All Photos By Katherine Turner : Residents opposing the Atlantic Coast Pipeline gather Saturday – March 17, 2018 at noon near the entrance of Wintergreen Resort. The peaceful demonstration was coordinated by Friends of Nelson at the site where hundreds of trees were recently cut down by workers with ACP to make way for a proposed natural gas pipeline. They placed white carnations where the trees had been taken down.

Wintergreen Resort Entrance
Beech Grove
Nelson County, Virginia

Between 50 to 75 people gathered around noon Saturday to peacefully express their opposition to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. A few days again workers with ACP and Dominion Energy cut down hundreds of trees to begin making way for the proposed pipeline.

A very vocal opponent
of the ACP, Richard Averitt of Nellysford, speaks from a megaphone to the crowd assembled on Saturday afternoon – March 17, 2018.

According to one of the event coordinators, Sharon Ponton, “The action was co-sponsored and organized by three grassroots groups in Nelson, Protect Our Water, Free Nelson and Friends of Nelson.”

Wintergreen Property Owners Association released a statement Saturday afternoon as the assembly was taking place.

Wintergreen Property Owners Association (WPOA) has repeatedly and publicly opposed the location of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the negative impacts it has on our community. We are grateful for the local and regional support received from groups like Friends of Wintergreen and Friends of Nelson.  Raising awareness through peaceful, grass roots efforts helps protect all of us, our natural resources, and most importantly, builds strong communities during trying times.

WPOA respects citizens’ legal rights to peacefully assemble and voice opposition to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.  We are firmly committed to keeping our community safe and thriving by sharing our concerns at every level of government and holding Dominion accountable for the taking of our protected open space.  WPOA will insist upon just compensation, fair treatment, and security for our community and the areas surrounding Wintergreen.

Jay Roberts
Executive Director
Wintergreen Property Owners Association

Dozens of people place white carnations along the path where ACP workers cut down hundreds of trees on March 6, 2018 to begin making way for the ACP.

Dominion and the ACP just received a violation from the Department of Environmental Quality for cutting some trees that should not have been taken down thus far.

White carnations were placed on downed trees taken out in early March by workers for the ACP.

…Enhanced threat for the spread of wild fires today…

Minimum relative humidity will drop to near 20 to 30 percent late

Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, portions of southern and central
Maryland and portions eastern West Virginia. Sustained west to
northwest winds around 15 to 25 mph with frequent gusts of 30 to
35 mph are also expected during this time. The combination of
gusty winds…low relative humidity and low fuel moisture will
enhance the threat for the spread of wildfires late this morning

ignition source…including machinery… cigarettes…and matches.
Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread

Nelson : VSP Troopers Rescue Injured Hawk After Being Struck By Car
Thanks to VSP for the photo: Above Trooper J.R. Harris discovered the hawk at a crash site in Nelson County, Virginia after it had been struck by a vehicle on Monday – March 12, 2018.

Nelson County, Virginia
Via VSP:

Monday’s snow proved dangerous not only for motorists, but also for this red-tailed hawk. VSP Trooper T.A. Hackenbracht and Trooper J.R. Harris (pictured above) discovered the hawk at a crash site in Nelson County, Virginia after it had been struck by a vehicle.

The injured hawk is expected to make a full recovery and will be transported back to Nelson County for release.

The hawk was dazed and injured in the crash…so the troopers were able to safely approach it and transport the impressive bird of prey to the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro.

Snow Day Across The Blue Ridge! (Video)

Central Virginia Blue Ridge

March has kept the promise of coming in like a lion. After a damaging major windstorm at the beginning of the month, it was snow this time as we approached the middle of the month. Schools were canceled for many counties across the area as a result of the winter weather.


By Tommy Stafford : Above, dashcam video of a snow covered Route 151 headed north toward Brent’s Gap.

 

By far the worst driving conditions were experienced in the Shenandoah Valley side west of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Dozens of accidents were reported throughout the day on I-81. VDOT spent most of the day clearing roads across the region to help improve driving conditions.

 


Above video from our Facebook live on Monday from Nellysford, Virginia. 

 

Above a stunning image from our BRL-SkiBarn webcam late in the afternoon on Monday – March 12, 2018.

 

Photo By Paul Purpura : Up top at Wintergreen Resort snowfall totals were a bit higher since the temperatures were already in the 20s when the snowfall started. That’s Wintergreen Drive in the background through the woods.

 

Photo By Tommy Stafford : Of course kids didn’t mind, our Junior Publisher Adam Stafford & his sister Juniorette Publisher Peyton Stafford had a blast playing in what’s likely the last snow of the season before warmer weather arrives toward the weekend.

 

Tommy says we will have some cold nights in the short term, but almost spring like weather returns by Sunday and Monday. You can listen to his forecast here.
