Buy An Acre Campaign Extends Across Virginia
Virginia leaders announce a statewide Buy An Acre drive for Shenandoah National Park with a $2.5 million goal. Focusing first on the Shenandoah Valley, regional directors will appoint county leaders to solicit pledges, requiring only a one dollar per acre sign-up and a pledge to pay the rest when Congress acts. The plan enables donors to contribute land or money to the Shenandoah National Park Association, which is authorized to receive donations and is chaired by prominent Virginians.
