I want the Natural Bridge of Virginia to be perpetually protected and accessible to the public by the creation of a public park. I urge my local, state and federal representatives to provide the leadership and resources to insure this vision becomes a reality.

I just saw the count hit five hundred which feels surreal because honestly I was worried only my close friends would click the link. It is wild to imagine this many people actually care about the bridge as much as I do though I really should have had more faith in you all from the start.

My parents met working at the Natural Bridge gift shop in the late 50's and I'm presently wearing my "Virginia is for Lovers - Natural Bridge" sweatshirt, I think it will be wonderful as a public park!! Thank you

This extraordinary, beautiful landmark of Virginia's, and the nation's, natural and cultural history deserves to be protected for all time. Making it a public park will ensure that all Americans can continue to enjoy it, and deepen their appreciation of our nation's history because of it, forever.

It is a travesty the was this national monument has been treated. I support an organized effort to purchase and have it be declared and official National Monument. I will do everything I can to support this.

Spent so many summers here growing up, it would be a real shame to see it change hands. Keep it public for the kids!
