Nicely done! Good old fashioned protest folk song.

perfect idea, to buy a train and repair the rails would be several million dollars . It's a one way track and only lazy ass people would take it.

I don't think it will be a train track again, Im fune with making it a nice biking trail.

So initiate eminent domain proceedings to force the owner to sell or have it seized for the public good.

This is soo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I HATE rail trail it should be trails-rails people like trains better than rail-trall why don't you guys just instead of turning it into a trall make a train track bicycle or pedal car that runs on train track people would love that more or let trains run on it which is the best

I want to see a tourist railroad happen on this line. I recently signed the petition to save the line.

3 million for the first phase of this rail and only half a million to house homeless vets, the disabled and seriously mentally ill in Harrisonburg. Nothing for Clarke, Frederick or Shenandoah counties for the homeless! We have people sleeping in Wal-Mart parking lots all over Winchester but that's ignored! Take care of human beings basic needs first!

I just wish it could be an active rail line again.....

Congratulation Zig!

Thank you, Alliance for the Shenandoah Valley, for making this wonderful video available for those of us who missed the program. Amy Johnson/s presentation was informative and inspiring. And the video about Professor Zig was excellent. Congratulations, Professor Zig, on this well-deserved recognition for a lifetime of work that helped make the Shenandoah Valley a more habitable place for birds and that inspired so many students and community members to care about birds. You are truly an inspiration.

I met Professor Zig several years ago. I was walking on Mill Creek Road near Shady Grove Road in Rockingham County. He stopped in his car to ask if I had seen any bird activity. What?? I thought. He then explained about the bird boxes I had noticed along my walks but didn’t question. He explained more about birds that flew over us as we talked in the middle of the road a good 20 minutes… him in his car and me of foot. He has stopped me a couple other times to chat about birds. As a result, I pay attention better to nature when I walk. I love that Professor Zig has been recognized for his service to nature… the birds and the people.

TRAILS DON'T JUST MAGICALLY. How many of YOU have actively helped create one or more trails near you, not just been users?

This would be great. If there is a possibility for any exercise / fitness component I would be happy to donate design services.

Yes! A most wonderful 2021 project to be proud of for the whole Valley! I’m originally from Broadway and this has always been on my mind since I was a little girl. I live in Germany now, and this is the way of life here..connecting villages and communities with multiple ways to exercise, “wander” and congregate with neighbors. The trails also help stimulate small businesses and restaurants/foodshacks/watering holes along the way! You must not forget benches, and trail signs, trash and recycle bins along with doggiedoo bag receptacles. I hope the local towns choose to invest in this project for us and our future generation’s enjoyment!

Yes, I want to support this. How do we help?

This would be awesome 😊
