DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nIf you don’t recognize Lynn Cameron’s face\, you will probably recognize her name.

In addition to serving as past president of the Virginia Wilderness Committee\, Lynn is the co-chair of Friends of the Shenandoah Mountain. \nIn those roles\, Lynn has spent the last 20 years connecting a diverse network of forest users to build a broad base of support for the 92\,000 acre Shenandoah Mountain National Scenic Area in the George Washington National Forest that will ensure diverse plant and wildlife habitat\, clean water for communities downstream\, and a variety of recreational opportunities\, such as hunting\, fishing\, hiking\, camping\, mountain biking\, and nature study for future generations. \nIf you’re lucky\, you’ll run in to Lynn in the woods on a hike and you’ll get to experience her deep love\, vast knowledge and commitment to the natural world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Honoring Lynn” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_btn title=”WATCH THE VIRTUAL CEREMONY” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FY6H-B9q7oJk|target:_blank”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”top”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5715″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\nSteven David Johnson \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1655826375317{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]\nWebsite\nInstagram\nFlickr \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]We were excited to honor Lynn Cameron’s work to preserve and protect Shenandoah Mountain with a lecture by Steven David Johnson\, a conservation photographer and Professor of Visual and Communication Arts at Eastern Mennonite University. \nSteve’s photography of the natural world\, including photos of many of the critters on Shenandoah Mountain that will enjoy the protection offered by the National Scenic Area designation\, has appeared in Orion\, Nature Conservancy Magazine\, Ranger Rick\, Virginia Wildlife\, National Science Teachers Association Press books and numerous conservation publications and journals. \nSteve is also vice-president of the Virginia Wilderness Committee\, a close partner of Friends of the Shenandoah Mountain.

SUMMARY:Family land\, farming and race in Virginia
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ownership of land represents wealth\, potential\, community\, sustainability and economic opportunity for the next generation. Yet\, across our country\, Black and Indigenous landowners have lost land at rates much higher than their white counterparts. In 1910\, there were 218\,000 Black farmers\, and they owned roughly 15 million acres of land. After the turn of the century\, there were only 18\,000 Black farmers with a little over 2 million acres of land.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3873″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1611329284770{margin-bottom: -2px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611329278874{margin-top: -2px !important;}”]Betty Kilby Baldwin with her father on their family farm in Warren County.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]This enormous loss of land and opportunity for Black farmers and their descendants wasn’t just a chance happening. Rather\, it is an important\, yet mostly overlooked\, part of our history of racial injustice all across America.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This webinar will explore the topics of family land\, farming and race. We’ll also hear about Virginia’s recent efforts to slow the loss of family-owned farmland and explore next steps to ensure that Black families and other historically underrepresented groups can continue to farm in the Valley and across Virginia.
