A Look at the Geology, Biodiversity and Conservation Efforts

John A. Gerwin, Research Curator, Ornithology, NC Museum of Natural Sciences

The Uwharries region stretches from Asheboro southwest to Morrow Mountain State Park. Within this area we find a good bit of geological and biological diversity which can be enjoyed within a variety of State and Federal lands. Our speaker, John Gerwin, has conducted bird research in this area since 2011, and in his spare time there he documents a lot of other organisms, some of which are unknown to science.

Join us on YouTube for a fun and educational exploration!
