The many chapters of the FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway depend on the assistance of volunteers to complete their projects and maintain the Parkway.

Our chapters advocate for the Parkway, maintain Parkway trails and overlooks, raise funds to support programs, collect from donation boxes, build bridges, repair fences, and participate in tree-planting projects.

FRIENDS chapters are actively supporting the Blue Ridge Parkway in the following communities and locations (click for more information):
