2011 Programs

Winter Lecture Series: History and Sustainability of the Wintergreen Community

The Wintergreen Nature Foundation and the Historical Society of Nelson County partner for our 2011 Winter Lecture Series. Previous programs brought the young nation through the “times that tried the souls of men” and the Revolutionary period. This year's programs discuss environment stability at Wintergreen. Topics range from the founders' vision and plans to preserve the environment in the Wintergreen community, to the current issues and state at Wintergreen, to future plans to sustain Wintergreen's community and open space. One major focus will be water.

March 19 and March 26, 2011.
