This .4 mile trail is on hatchery property and has a diversity of native (& non-native) trees, wildflowers, ferns, birds & other wildlife. The trail is a cooperative effort between the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries (DGIF) and Friends of the Montebello Fish Hatchery. The fish culture station has always been a popular site for appreciating nature. In 2005 it was designated as a birding site on the Jefferson Loop of the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail. The Nature Trail will expand the opportunity to view wildlife and native trees and plants.

More than 250 volunteer hours were involved in construction of the trail.

Nelson County Sheriff David Brooks confirms to NCL late Wednesday night that his department’s investigation into the crime scene on Dark Hollow Lane was a murder / suicide. “This was a very tragic scene involving a husband and wife,” Sheriff Brooks said. The sheriff said an autopsy will be performed on Thursday, but it appears a clear cut murder suicide with a handgun.

Details and identities will be officially released at a later time as the investigation continues.

Earlier post from initial information @ 5:15 PM EDT:
Nelson County Sheriff, David Brooks, along with deputies and investigators are currently working a scene on Dark Hollow Lane in Southern Nelson County just outside of Roseland.

Information is very preliminary as of this post, but Nelson Sheriff David Brooks has confirmed to NCL that the initial call to police “involved a gun and 2 people down.” NCL observed two rescue units, one from Wintergreen and the another from Roseland, make the scene, but left minutes later when it became apparent that deputies would be working the scene for several hours to come.

We will update this story as soon as we have additional solid information.
