The Spring 2024 episode of Shenandoah Valley Ever Green highlights systems that support dwelling in the Shenandoah Valley. First, we’ll hear about individuals and organizations around Harrisonburg who enact housing initiatives for people who encounter difficulties accessing a safe and comfortable home.
A veterinarian from the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Boyce, VA, will tell the backstory of one of our most common animal neighbors, the gray squirrel, and a local beekeeper will discuss re-locating bee hives when a bee population has established residence in an unwanted location.
UVA Astronomer Dr. Kelsey Johnson provides details about the upcoming total solar eclipse. And local photographer Bob Adamek provides tips for capturing snapshots of animals in the wild.
Shenandoah Valley Ever Green receives financial support through The Madison Trust. Our benefactors include Blayne Adams; George and Alison Wheeler; and the Circle of Dreams Foundation: Founder/Trustee Alumni, Jeanne Jambor and Trustee Dreamweaver Spielman.
