The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) Visitor Center will host “Wild Virginia!”, a program that focuses on wildlife native to Virginia, in partnership with the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center. About 550 miles of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) are in Virginia, almost one-fourth of the whole Trail.
This program offers a live demonstration of the animals you might see in the wild along the A.T. Animal guests may include: a fox, snake, turtle, raptor, opossum, and more!
ATC’s Northern Resource Management Coordinator Marian Orlousky will also give a presentation on the various environmental research efforts that are taking place along the A.T.
Kids and families are welcome. This event is free. For more information, visit www.blueridgewildlife.org/education.
