Our Town

A New Project - We’ve been working on something interesting over the last few months, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you next week! Stay tuned for the full story.

The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen - With the holidays approaching, Crozet and surrounding areas are set to welcome friends, family, and visitors. One of the best parts of living here is access to spectacular hiking, and if you’re looking to explore the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Wintergreen is a top choice. Did you know that the Wintergreen area has over 30 miles of trails winding through mountains and valleys, ranging from easy walks to challenging climbs? This trail network offers incredible views and is maintained by the dedicated team at The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen.

Founded to protect the natural environment in and around Wintergreen, The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen is committed to preserving the land’s unique beauty and biodiversity. Through conservation work and community education, they maintain these trails so that hikers can experience the region's stunning landscapes while learning more about local flora and fauna.

If you’re planning a hike, here are a few tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure:

Prepare for Rapid Weather Changes: Conditions in the mountains can change quickly, so bring layers.
Don’t Hike Alone: It's always safer and more enjoyable with a companion.
Respect the Terrain: Trails vary in difficulty, so choose one that suits your experience level.
Bring Water and a Snack: Staying hydrated and fueled is essential.
Be Aware of Wildlife: Respect the animals that call these trails home by keeping a safe distance.
Wear Appropriate Gear: Comfortable, sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are a must.

So gather your group, lace up your boots, and set out to explore one of the best parts of our area!
