Tropical Storm Helene

From the start, the very idea of the Blue Ridge Parkway was monumental. Just imagine the incredibly ambitious undertaking of constructing a 469-mile scenic route over and even through mountains to create a new national park.  Today, we face a monumental challenge—Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic destruction. We desperately need you to come to the aid of your storm-battered park. We have never tackled a greater task in the 27 years since donors like you became stewards of the national park.
