Bull Run Mountains Conservancy is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1994 to protect the Bull Run Mountains through education, research, and stewardship. We promote the preservation of the Bull Run Mountains from their southern ridges in New Baltimore to their northern end in Aldie, Virginia. BRMC offers educational programs to adults and children that focus on the ecological, historical, and cultural features of the Bull Run Mountains. Research underpins our education program. For 25 years, BRMC has sponsored, assisted, and facilitated numerous baseline studies that add important data to our understanding of the landscape. At BRMC preservation does not mean a hands-off policy, but rather a focus on drawing people to appreciate the resources at hand and the completion of research to better understand and protect those resources.
