Dogwood Alliance embarks on another Forest Friday adventure! This week's Forest Friday guest features Erin Everett on the Mountains-to-Sea trail to the Rattlesnake Lodge Ruins.
Recently, Dogwood Alliance launched #ForestFriday, where we go out into the woods with a guest and celebrate forests together. Most recently, we had the privilege of venturing out with Bat Biologist Drew Powell. Drew surveys bats in the summertime in West Virginia for Apogee Environmental.
As the days get hotter, the number of Southerners standing up to protect and fight for forests increases steadily: it’s almost as if unrest is in direct proportion to the degrees on a thermometer. Summertime in the South conjures up images of being sleepy and slow-moving, but the opposition to burning forests for fuel is livelier than ever.
Today is the first World Wetlands Day after the historic Paris Agreement. Take the time to find out about the history of World Wetlands Day and the role that wetlands play in the fight against climate change.
