Local Conservation: Piney Woods Conservation Group

University Libraries will present Nature Matters, a fall event series exploring our connections to the natural world and the importance of protecting the places and resources that sustain us. From the air we breathe and water we drink to food production, economic activity and climate regulation, nature plays an essential role in our daily lives. The series will offer opportunities to consider our relationship with nature, explore sustainable practices and learn about local conservation efforts.
