at the Moton Museum in Farmville, VA

The Upper & Middle James Riparian Consortium (Consortium) held its first general meeting of the year on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024 at the Moton Museum in Farmville, VA. It was a great event connecting with Consortium members, learning and sharing about riparian buffers in the Farmville area, and exploring the Moton Museum. There were a number of new and long-time Consortium partners that joined the event.

Thank you to the Moton Museum for welcoming us and to the Consortium Steering Committee and the team at the Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for your planning and support in making the day a success. The Consortium extends its appreciation to Kevin Dunn, Piedmont SWCD; Jay Wilkerson, Town of Farmville; Miller Adams, Department of Forestry (DOF); and Caitlin Verdu, DOF for their thoughtful and engaging meeting presentations.
