Goodlatte Receives Award for Efforts to Protect Natural Bridge

Statement

Congressman Bob Goodlatte released the following statement after receiving a Special Conservation Award from the Izaak Walton League of America for his work behind the scenes to permanently protect the historic Natural Bridge:

"As a supporter of conservation and recreation efforts around the Sixth District, I saw this as another opportunity to help protect a very special natural structure that serves as the namesake for the county in which it stands. It was my pleasure to see the sale of Natural Bridge come to fruition and to assist my constituents, Jim Woltz and Tom Clarke, in communicating with the Internal Revenue Service. In helping make this possible, I was simply doing what I do every day -- responding to constituents who identified a problem, helping them try to solve the problem, and seeing it through. In this case, the results were very gratifying. I am honored to accept this Special Conservation Award and look forward to continuing to work with everyone associated with the work to protect Natural Bridge."
