About the Martinsville-Henry County Community Nature Initiative

With the support of The Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont, Virginia Museum of Natural History and its partners, Dr. Denny Casey and Tamara Poles developed a new nature and outdoor initiative entitled the Martinsville Henry County Community Nature Initiative (MHC CNI). The CNI will serve as a clearinghouse for environmental information, use nature as a way to stimulate learning, develop opportunities for quality family time in the outdoors, and position VMNH as a leader in environmental education. CNI will serve as a means to provide hands-on, real-world opportunities for children, educators, and families to increase appreciation for nature and as an effective means to better understand and address community environmental issues.

Screen on the Green at Hooker Field Results

A special thank you to all of you who came out to Hooker Field Friday night! We had 197 people participate in this event! We raced Marty the Mustang around the bases at Hooker field! I can't believe Marty LOST! Those kids were so fast! Participants also were able to get their faces painted by our great artists, make a snow measuring sticks that could have either looked like a penguin or a snowman. Participants tested their accuracy in the throwing contest, and they tested their balance in a penguin relay race! After the fun activities, the participants enjoyed the movie Happy Feet under the stars on this beautiful Friday night at Hooker Field.
