Fredericksburg-Rappahannock
Our 123-acre park is in the heart of the Fredericksburg-Chancellorsville-Wilderness Civil War Battlegrounds. This is some of the most environmentally sensitive land in the U.S. We have approximately 1,000 members, residing in several counties surrounding Fredericksburg, who participate in conservation efforts that include a local roadside clean-up campaign, tree planting, water quality testing, and public education on the conservation of natural resources. Our members maintain and enjoy a large stocked fishing pond, four firearms ranges, joint-use archery ranges, hiking trails, wooded picnic areas, playground areas, approved camping, three pavilions, and a club house. Our Chapter has now hosted and provided support for the original Fredericksburg Dog Mart for more than 60 years. The actually dates back more than three centuries and celebrates the trading of goods between Native Americans and the early settlers. A truly historic and fun-filled family event! Other programs include fishing, hunting, archery, and range operation safety training for both young and old. On a quarterly basis, knowledgeable speakers are invited to address our membership on topics related to conservation. Our nature trails and excellent fishing draw hundreds of youth each year. Our youth are the future conservationists!
