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.

Wild About Early Learners Traning

CNI worked with DGIF to arrange a training for educators in the Project Wild curriculum "Wild About Early Learners." This curriculum provides outdoor activities for children ages pre-k to third grade to participate in. During this training we had a great representation from VMNH and USACE at Philpott Dam. It was very informative and provided us with great resources and tools that will enable us to use their “Wild About Early Learners” curriculum.
