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.

August National Parks Awarness

To help support our National Parks, CNI has recognized the parks in the Martinsville- Henry County area. We interviewed two US Army Corps of Engineers, Danny and Susan Martin and the President of Friends of Philpot Linda Drage at Philpott Lake. Our goal was to spread awareness about Philpott Lake and the wonderful programs that they have.
