Hi Sam, Steve, and EmeraldPlanet TV,
Thank you for having us on your show and for sending the edited and
uploaded segments at the links below! It was a lot of fun doing these
programs with EmeraldPlanet TV, and is an excellent way to get our
respective environmental conservation and education messages to a broader
audience.
I've copied the VNPS board here, who I know will be very interested in the

All the best,
Rod

SPECIAL NOTE: Overviews Below....
The Virginia Native Plant Society is dedicated to the protection and
preservation of the native plants of Virginia and their habitats, in order
to sustain for generations to come the integrity of the Commonwealth’s rich
natural heritage of ecosystems and biodiversity for purposes of enjoyment,
enlightenment, sustainable use, and our own very survival. To this end, we
advocate and follow practices that will conserve our natural endowment, and
we discourage and combat practices that will endanger or destroy it. We are
committed to do all we can to slow the accelerating conversion of natural
landscape to built and planted landscape and to reduce its damage to natural
ecosystems.
The Virginia Native Plant Society’s tag line is “Saving wild flowers and
wild places.” That certainly covers a lot of ground! And each chapter has
its own unique way of responding to the call to action. It maintains
a Registry Site Program to protect places with “an exemplary occurrence of a
habitat, a plant community, or a plant species. VNPS holds two annual
events, a spring workshop dedicated to academic study of timely topics,
climate change this year; and an annual meeting in the fall, held in
different parts of the state, with speakers and field trips. Each year there
are several additional extended, overnight field trips in places of special
interest. There are numerous other activities, projects, and programs of
interest to "Saving wild flowers and wild places."
Four Mile Run is envisioned as a cherished community resource and a model
for natural lands stewardship in an urban setting. Our mission is to
promote nature, culture, and community at lower Four Mile Run
through restoration, advocacy, recreation, and education. The Four Mile Run
Conservatory Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and volunteer
organization formed in 2016 following years of community efforts to beautify
and improve Four Mile Run Park.
The organization host over fifty [50] events yearly including nature and
history walks, natural history presentations, and volunteer clean-up
events. There are also community happy hour networking gatherings to foster
greater citizen participation. Summer Internships are offered in areas such
as: collecting water samples to measure the amount of microplastic
pollution; cataloging wildlife cameras data as to the diversity and number
of native species in the park; while community volunteers have identified
and cataloged over 200 plant and animal species in the lower Four Mile Run.
The new Dock Project to design, construct, and commission a floating
accessible dock for non-motorized water craft is proceeding.
