Our hike will pass through eastern hemlock habitat, and while taking in the natural beauty, we learn about hemlock's role in the ecosystem, the threats they face, and what management approaches are taking place in North Carolina, including at the Green River Game Lands.
Inspired by a letter by Peter Forbes (co-founder of the Center for Whole Communities in Fayston, Vermont) titled, “What is a Whole Community?” Tony will be appealing to those who care for and restore the land.
