New River Land Trust

Mission

The New River Land Trust is a local non-profit formed to protect the farmland, forests, open spaces and historic places in Virginia’s New River region. This service area includes the counties of Bland, Carroll, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Montgomery, Pulaski and Wythe and the cities of Galax and Radford. We preserve precious land by educating landowners and other stakeholders about the benefits of voluntarily donating conservation easements on their land, protecting it for future generations. Since 2002, the New River Land Trust has conserved more than 42,000 acres and over 21 miles of New River Frontage.

As the only American Heritage River in Virginia and one of only fourteen in the nation, the New River defines our region and supports our economy. Land conservation is critical as unprecedented development threatens our water supply, wildlife habitat, and the overall natural integrity
of the region.

This organization joins with 1,400 other land trusts, including the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy, in protecting over four million endangered acres—making a major impact on the American landscape.

Establish Your Legacy
You can help save the land and rivers that define our community by donating to the New River Land Trust either in your lifetime or in your estate. Some of your options include:

Make a gift in your will. Talk to your financial advisor about the best way to leave a legacy to the NRLT.
Include NRLT on your list of annual charitable contributions. If you donate through the Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign, the NRLT’s Code No. is 3515.
Make a gift of land. Many people don’t have heirs who will care for and love their land. One donor chose to leave her home and 12 acres to NRLT.
Consider a gift of stock.

Reduce taxes and Make a difference
Your tax deductible investment in the NRLT will ensure that future generations can enjoy the natural heritage, scenic mountains and river corridors that make our home a special place to live.
