Sunday, August 13th 2:00 at Union Parish Library in Farmerville, Louisiana
Meet author and conservationist, Johnny Armstrong as he shares his story of the protection and restoration of a North Louisiana ecosystem! 

At Union Parish Library next Sunday, Aug. 13th, 2 pm, Johnny Armstrong, local author, conservator and former medical doctor will speak to the public about his vital restoration ecology work on his land near Ruston and read select parts of his book "Rescuing Biodiversity. The Protection and Restoration of a North Louisiana Ecosystem."
 

Armstrong is running an exemplary project in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy Louisiana to preserve a vanishing Louisiana ecosystem and restore the indigenous plants and animals. 
 
This is important because America is losing its precious biodiversity from habitat destruction; both the variety and the quantity of living things are being diminished. A rich biodiversity is more resilient to adverse changes and is the basis of our life support system. Therefore, this event is relevant for all who own or manage land in NELA.
 
We're very grateful to Johnny for his valuable project and outreach, and also to Library Director, Stephanie Antley Hermmann for opening this wonderful venue to us. Yet again she's proving Louisiana public libraries' essential contribution to our NELA community.
 
There'll be an opportunity for Q&A and book signing and an appeal to join the Louisiana Master Naturalists Northeast group.
