SUMMARY:16 Frogs Stroll through Blacksburg\, VA
DESCRIPTION:16 small\, bronze frog statues been strategically placed throughout town and the surrounding area to call attention to the fresh water flowing under and around the streets and buildings of downtown Blacksburg.\n.\nWe are happy to partner with 16 Frogs to offer this educational stroll through Blacksburg. Join Downtown Blacksburg\, Inc Executive Director\,Tracie Hughes and NRC Marketing Director\, Lisa Stansell-Galitz to visit at least 10 of these.\n.\nDowntown Blacksburg and the Virginia Tech campus are underlain by numerous streams and waterways that have been piped\, channeled or covered over the last 200+ years. These abundant freshwater streams\, springs and seeps are an essential part of our history\, and in fact\, are why Native Americans\, and later\, European settlers\, settled in and around present-day Blacksburg.\n.\nSince Blacksburg is located near several of the headwaters for the New River\, where our municipal drinking water supply is obtained\, we have a very direct connection to and reliance on our local water supplies that many residents may not be aware of.\n.\nThe 16 Frogs campaign seeks to restore the health of Stroubles Creek\, the broader watershed\, and the water quality of downstream communities through increased public interest and awareness.\n.\nWe will meet in the parking lot of the Blacksburg Library on Miller Street at 10:30 am. Wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing. If case of inclement weather\, this event will be cancelled.\n.\nRegistration is not required\, but suggested at info@newriverconservancy.org
