Exploring OUR Land Exhibit Photos

Our summer 2020 exhibit, Exploring OUR Land: Public Land use in the AFNHA, investigated the varied ways people use public lands in the Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area. The exhibit started by examining why public lands were created and how people continue to improve them. The second section focused on the government agencies who manage the lands and their different goals. The final section celebrated all the different ways people enjoy public lands from scientists to foragers and historical reenactors to bigfoot hunters.
