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.
NAME CHANGE!
Hello Everyone!
As we approched year two of this program our focus has to broaden to not only be a network of nature and outdoor outdoor organizations but to also provide more nature and outdoor programming for the community. In doing so we have changed our name from MHC Children and Nature Network to the Martinsvilel Henry County Community Nature Initiative!
