VWC board member Steve Johnson was featured in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sept. 19 for his conservation photography. In addition to being a very active photographer himself, Steve teaches conservation photography at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg. During the past three years, he and his students have captured images of VWC's proposed Shenandoah Mountain National Scenic Area, our proposed Beech Lick Knob Wilderness, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline route, and several of Virginia's existing Wilderness areas. Steve particularly enjoys taking photos of salamanders and other amphibians and likes to see his work used for advocacy. It is not unusual to find Steve wading in a vernal pond or carefully lifting rocks and logs to find subjects that illustrate the incredible biodiversity we have here in western Virginia. VWC is very fortunate to have Steve join our board this year.
