PRISM Fall Meeting with Guest Speaker Joan Maloof
Join us Wednesday, October 7, 11:30 am-1 pm, to hear from Dr. Joan Maloof, one of America’s leading voices for the protection of old-growth forests. An ecologist, author, educator, and conservation leader, she is the founder of the Old-Growth Forest Network, the only national organization dedicated to ensuring that every U.S. county capable of supporting forests has at least one permanently protected, publicly accessible forest that will never be logged.
Through this ambitious vision, she has inspired communities across the country to preserve forests where people of all ages can experience the beauty, biodiversity, and ecological richness of mature and ancient woodlands. This presentation explores the importance of old-growth forests and explains why protecting the few that remain—and allowing more forests to grow old—is essential for the health of both people and the planet.

About Blue Ridge PRISM:
Blue Ridge Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) is Virginia’s first Cooperative Weed Management Area.
Founded in 2014 as a volunteer-driven project of the Shenandoah National Park Trust, PRISM became a stand-alone nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity in 2020. Since then, we have grown to become the statewide leader in invasive plant education, training, and advocacy. We are small but mighty, with an expert staff dedicated to helping you reverse the spread of invasive plants on the land you steward.
