Southern Appalachia at the Crossroads
From Warren Wilson's release: Hosted by Warren Wilson, The Wilderness Society, and Orion Magazine, Headwaters Gathering will speak to the challenges climate change poses for life in Southern Appalachia and create a call for action. Keynote speaker Herman Daly, along with Majora Carter, Winona LaDuke, retired coal miner Chuck Nelson of the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, David Orr, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center scientist and lead author on the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, Dr. Thomas Peterson, Janisse Ray, The New York Times DOT EARTH's Andrew Revkin, and National Wildlife Federation President and CEO Larry Schweiger will engage us in working across divides, galvanizing our concerns, and strategizing for change. From a town meeting, convened by a panel of experts, to compelling whole-group sessions, and a writer's intensive, we will find our collective voice. Friday night's session is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required. Visit www.headwatersgathering.org soon for information and registration.
