The New River Needs Your Help TODAY!!! Congress passed Public Law 102-525 in 1992 authorizing the National Park Service to study 19.3 miles of the New River in Virginia (Giles County) and West Virginia for potential designation as a National Wild and Scenic River. The study has been released, and public comments are due by 11/6/09. The study will go before Congress sometime next year. This is the highest protection that can be bestowed on a river, and the New River is certainly worthy in many aspects. Public support IS and WILL BE crucial when the study comes before Congress and you can help NOW by: Making a Public Comment
