How an apple orchard is preserving Appalachian views | State of Change: Seeds of Hope

Learn how Conservation Trust for NC works with property owners to protect the land, conserving views and habitat for wildlife impacted by climate change. Plus, pay a visit to the Historic Orchard at Altapass to see how land conservation doesn’t mean land untouched by humans.

The wife managed the Orchard for several years and I created a new (at the time) website for them. We enjoyed our time working with the Orchard to help to bring it a little further towards the goals Bill Carson had laid out. Fun to see it getting some well-deserved publicity. We moved to Upstate New York right in the middle of the apple orchard region, so 860 miles didn't change our views too much!

The climate changes every second of everyday since the beginning of time, and so does the society of people. In my observation and study of history and people on this earth, I have concluded that people and this modern society is more of a threat and more dangerous than climate change.
