Humans have both the power to destroy nature and the power to heal it. Learn about why we can’t just leave vegetative systems “alone” to return back to their natural states when they have been so heavily manipulated by us. The DCR Natural Heritage Program works to manage, restore, and protect many different types of threatened and endangered habitats and species throughout southwest Virginia. Many of these unique community assemblages or species could be helped by you through greater awareness, volunteer stewardship, or incorporation into your tiny piece of the Earth.

Laura Young will be presenting this talk for the Appalachian Highlands chapter of Wild One. She works with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and will be sharing information related to her work with rivercane restoration on the The Cedars Natural Area Preserve.
