Appalachia’s rich biodiversity is showcased in the spring as hundreds of varieties of plants emerge from dormancy in dazzling displays of colors, shapes and quantities. Looking beyond their blooms, beauty and fragrance, however, there is much more to see and learn from these .<\/p>\n

This Zoom webinar is the latest installment of the Insider\u2019s Report<\/em> series which highlights the nonprofit\u2019s projects and ways to enjoy the national park unit. A new topic is covered at 11 a.m. the first Tuesday of each month.<\/p>\n
