ATC will host “Wild Virginia!,” a live demonstration by the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center (http://www.blueridgewildlife.org) of animals you might see along the Appalachian Trail. The program will take place on Saturday, November 9 from 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the ATC’s visitor center at 799 Washington Street, Harpers Ferry, WV. This event is free and is open to the public.
This program focuses on animals that live in Virginia and interesting facts and stories about them. Many of these species are found all along the 14 states that the Appalachian Trail passes through from Georgia to Maine. Marian Orlousky, ATC's Northern Resource Management Coordinator, will begin the program with a brief presentation on the types of wildlife that can be found along the A.T. and some environmental research efforts that have been taking place. Then children will have a chance to interact with animals that inhabit the A.T. corridor: these might include a fox, snake, turtle, raptor, possum, and more.
Space is limited; pre-registration is required. To reserve space, RSVP to [email protected] by Thursday, November 7. Children must be accompanied by an adult supervisor.
