brpfoundation.org 3 Protecting Natural Resources

he Blue Ridge Parkway’s uninterrupted nature Tcorridor helps protect a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare and endangered plant and animal species and globally imperiled natural habitats. It is one of the most DAMERON VICKI BY PHOTOGRAPH biodiverse landscapes in the national park system. Together we are taking steps, large and small, to protect the Parkway’s unique natural treasures.

4 brpfoundation.org Wildlife Cameras Through your generosity, the Blue Ridge Parkway purchased 24 motion-activated cameras for the ongoing Parkway Wild project, which allows park scientists to monitor wildlife in remote locations. Among the citizen scientists placing and monitoring cameras this year are students completing service learning projects at Springhouse Community School in Floyd, Virginia. Parkway staff worked with instructors during the summer to integrate the trail camera project into the school’s curriculum. As a result, the students are learning about ecology, cartography, navigation, and orienteering by setting out and monitoring a trail camera along the Parkway.

Rare Sight: Among one of the most exciting finds to date is an elusive eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius). About the size of a large squirrel, spotted skunks are believed to be declining throughout their ranging area. They live primarily in Western North Carolina and Virginia, however their secretive nature makes them extremely hard to detect. This photo was captured near Pine Spur Overlook in Virginia and is believed to be a new find for this species in Franklin County.

brpfoundation.org 7 Enhancing Visitor Experiences

ore than 16 million people from around the Mglobe traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2017, making it the country’s most visited national park unit. They came for an unparalleled outdoor experience that allowed them to enjoy every aspect of the journey, from the magnificent overlooks to the basic necessities such as restrooms. Yet the Blue Ridge Parkway’s annual budget allows for just $1 per visitor to meet these expectations. That means we must invest in the facilities and amenities that ensure travelers return to the mountains and provide support for the economies in surrounding communities.

Sharp Top Shelter After a complete transformation, Sharp Top Shelter is a more enjoyable spot to wait out passing storms at the summit of its namesake peak. With your financial support, crews scrubbed away and painted over years of graffiti, reset windows, sills, and door frames, replaced the roof, and painted the clapboard siding on the building constructed in 1858 at Peaks of Otter, milepost 86, in Virginia.

8 brpfoundation.org Renew the Views The designers of the Blue Ridge Parkway created 216 overlooks to offer astonishing views of rippling mountain peaks and verdant valleys. Over time, vegetation obscured many of the original vistas. This spring, the National Park Service’s Arborist Incident Response (AIR) team removed obstructions at overlooks from milepost 420 to 435 in North Carolina. Thanks to your generosity, many of the views on the southern end of the Parkway are long-range vistas again. The 10-day clearing schedule was planned with careful From the Top: Roof work begins at Bluffs consideration of wildlife habitat, like that of the Northern flying squirrel.

Known for its fried chicken and ham biscuits, the former coffee shop, which opened in 1949, is getting a new roof before work begins on the interior. Support from the N.C. General Assembly and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has also been critical. In 2017, the state appropriated $350,000 toward building repairs. ARC Before provided a $300,000 grant to purchase new restaurant equipment and furniture. In spring and summer 2019, these grants will be put to work to further the repairs needed to welcome a new operator.

he first lesson the Blue Ridge Parkway often Tteaches us is that nature is fascinating. Then we move on to the deeper lessons we can learn from our hikes, observing wildlife, introducing new people to the outdoors, and the wonders of this unique landscape. To reach a greater understanding of how amazing this park truly is, there must be opportunities for education and paths for new generations to find their way to this knowledge. That’s why it is important to continuously engage visitors with this enriching place. A newly installed panel at Craggy Gardens Visitor Center highlights hidden wildlife

New exhibits at Craggy Gardens Thanks to you, engaging new interpretive panels highlight the many intriguing aspects of the high-elevation environment of the Great Craggy Mountains, a subrange of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

12 brpfoundation.org Midday Music’s Founder Seven days a week, spring through fall, musicians gather to pick and play and tell the stories of mountain music at the Blue Ridge Music Center. They volunteer their time and talents to entertain and educate visitors for the pure love of the music. Among them is Willard Gayheart, one of the founders and longest participant in these free midday music sessions. He and the late Bobby Patterson kicked off the program 12 years ago. “Bobby and I went out there one day and it kind of took off,” says Gayheart, who claims playing the guitar for visitors is keeping him young at 86. From that small start, the sessions grew and now take place daily on the breezeway. This year, 44 musicians volunteered more than 2,000 In addition to being a musician, Willard Gayheart is an artist who works hours of their time, including Gayheart, who in pencil.
