Shenandoah National Park growing by hundreds of acres

The Shenandoah National Park can expand by hundreds of acres thanks to land-protection efforts.

The Shenandoah National Park Trust also purchased 900 acres of land in Page County in February 2021.

The trust has since given the Page County property to the National Park Service to expand the amount of land protected in the Shenandoah National Park.

The trust serves as the official philanthropic partner of the Shenandoah National Park and invests in programs and initiatives that "Help ensure that Shenandoah remains a crown jewel of the Park Service, an economic driver for the region, and a national treasure for all to enjoy, for generations to come," the organization's website states.
