On April 19, 2016, the connector trail linking Grelen to James Madison's Montpelier was officially designated as a “Virginia Treasure” by the Office of the Governor for being an outstanding recreational asset open to the public in the Commonwealth. Virginia First Lady, Dorothy McAuliffe, and Department of Natural Resources Secretary, Molly Ward, presented the award and then walked the trail with representatives from Grelen, Montpelier & PEC.
The Virginia Treasures initiative focuses on quality rather than just quantity. The program stresses safeguarding significant sites and assets rather than just the numbers. The idea is to preserve, protect and highlight Virginia’s most important ecological, cultural, scenic and recreational assets as well as its special lands.
Co-owners Dan & Leslie Gregg and Zeke Galvin are honored and humbled by this designation and will continue to support the efforts of Orange County, the State of Virginia and PEC to celebrate and preserve land.
