Wild Ones of Central North Carolina Chapter and the North Carolina Sierra Club Foothills Group, in collaboration with the Town of Lewisville, NC and the Gateway Nature Preserve in Winston-Salem, NC, are pleased to invite you to this extraordinary program focused on the importance of ecological restoration.

The panel discussion, titled What’s the Buzz about Ecological Restoration, includes Heather Holm, Dr. Ken Bridle, President of the NC Native Plant Society, and Dr. Gary Gunderson, Professor of Divinity at Wake Forest University. The discussion is moderated by Dr. Stan Meiburg, Executive Director, Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC.

In the panel discussion, the panelists will emphasize the importance of actively engaging in restorative activities to protect, conserve and restore the health of planet Earth. Dr. Gunderson, an ordained minister, brings a spiritual focus to restoration. Mankind has been endowed with the responsibility to protect the Earth and all its creatures. We must reclaim a role that has been ours all along. Dr. Kenneth Bridle, Conservation Advisor for the Piedmont Land Conservancy, discusses how we can all contribute to these efforts in our own personal and collective ways. Since 1990, the Piedmont Land Conservancy has been active in protecting our region’s natural lands, family farms, and waters for the benefit of all living things through land protection, stewardship of conserved spaces, and connecting people with nature.

The program is free. See registration link in the comment section.
