On Friday 10/24/2025, Therapeutic Adventures (TA) in partnership with Thomas Jefferson Trout Unlimited (TJTU), provided a great day of fly fishing for a group of veterans from the Hunter-Holmes McGuire VA Hospital. We are very grateful for their service and sacrifice for our country.

These heroes, enjoyed the special regulations, flies only “catch and release” section in the Moormans River Trout Management Area (MRTMA). Eight (8) veterans with a wide variety of disabilities and complex medical needs were provided with a great day of fly fishing (guiding & instruction) a streamside lunch, and other adaptive activities. We were pleased to have our friends from Blue Ridge — Packs and Tracks share some exploratory time trying out the all-terrain, Track Chair. Thank you Paige French & Debbie White for making this happen. Many of the veterans were excited to get in and explore the outdoor terrain. Throughout the day, many trout were caught on the fly and released to live another day. Special thanks to our volunteer adaptive guides by (Bill Lucia, Bruce Akey, Ted Thomas, Paul Mooney, & Mark Andrews) Special thanks to Reilly Paz, CTRS at the VA who assembled and coordinated this great group.

This program was supported in part by Move United, and the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA), Therapeutic Adventures, and Thomas Jefferson Trout Unlimited.

On Wednesday, 10/15/25 an amazing team of volunteers from Candace M.P. Smith Architect PC. joined Therapeutic Adventures (TA) and Thomas Jefferson Trout Unlimited (TJTU) to help with a long term accessibility & eco-stewardship project.

This was a rescheduled work day due to inclement weather on the original Day of Caring 9/17/25

We were blessed with a beautiful day. This was a great group of caring, capable, and motivated professionals. The way they interacted together and looked out for each other says a lot about the culture you have created at work. Everyone on the self described“Stream Team” (love the name) took the initiative to address the projects we identified. The improved access to the river (sycamore row) for persons with mobility impairments will benefit wheelchair users at our upcoming adaptive angler camps. The many suggestions for signage (in Spanish) and needs to educate the guests who use the Moormans River Trout Management Area (MRTMA) were wonderful.

When you divide and conquer much gets done - clearing of overgrown brush, moving rocks, many BIG rocks was so helpful, marking trails, and disassembling rock dams made a huge impact on our special regulations river.

On 9/18/25 & 10/18/25 we had a total of 17 volunteers who contributed 103 service hours.

Thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer. Your dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm has made an important impact at the MRTMA.

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed,

Mark
