The members of the NRVEC gave important testimony regarding zoning issues, the Smart Road, and the 765 KV Power Line. They worked with the Blue Ridge Environmental Network, Virginia Environmental Network, and the Sierra Club, and participated in regional conferences including the New River Round Table at Concord College in Athens, WV where they advocated for the preservation of rivers.
