            Designated one of the "Last Great Places" by The Nature Convservancy, the Roanoke River Basin contains one of the largest intact and least disturbed bottomland hardwood and cypress, tupelo ecosystem on the Atlantic coast of North America.

            The remoteness of the river has helped preserve the area. Unfortunately, where man has easy access to the river, his presence is felt.

            29-March-2013 Update breaking news
            In the recent VA legislative session, a move to lift the ban was never undertaken. In addition, a bill to circumvent the ban and begin developing regulations to govern the mining and milling was withdrawn due to lack of support votes.

            Question / Comment:


            Registered members have access to additional features of the website.

            What is this?
              performing http request
             

            What is this "are you human" question all about.

            Unfortunately, in addition to being a valuable information resource and application delivery vehicle, the world-wide-web also has a dark-side. The web contains Robots, Spiders, Worms, WebCrawlers and WebAnts, just to mention a few of the tools used by spammers, hackers, and other evil doers.

            This simple "are you human" test is used to guard against, or at least hinder these malicious web nuisances. While a computer can easily compute the answer to this simple math problem, presented the way it was given to you makes it difficult for a computer to interpret.

            The correct answer is 9. You can see it plain as day, but not so easy for your computer.
