Picture
With great sadness, we share the passing of Jim Murray.  Jim was a founding member of the Virginia Wilderness Committee, serving as our president in 1970 and again from 1997 to 2007, as well as on the board for the past 54 years. He was a lifelong conservationist and a force for Wilderness in Virginia helping with the passage of six Wilderness bills from the first in 1975 (James River Face) through our most recent in 2009 (Ridge and Valley).  He will be missed by the entire Virginia Wilderness community.

Here is his obituary:
