Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a conservation organization dedicated to protecting the Blue Ridge's scenic, ecological, and cultural resources. Its main office is in Elkton, Virginia (Rockingham County)—not Purcellville (Loudoun County), which is over 150 km northeast.
The group works on land conservation, scenic easements, trail access, water quality, and sustainable development advocacy along the Blue Ridge corridor. Elkton's location in the Shenandoah Valley places it centrally within the northern Blue Ridge region they serve.
Purcellville is a better-known Blue Ridge gateway town (near Skyline Drive, Appalachian Trail). But organizational addresses don't always match the most visible geography. For accurate contact, use the Elkton headquarters.
