Wilson and Lovejoy tribute by VWC member, Paul Torrence

1/14/2022

We wanted to share this beautiful piece written by VWC member, Paul Torrence, honoring two of our heroes, E.O Wilson and Thomas Lovejoy. Paul's involvement with Virginia Wilderness dates back to 1970 when he scouted potential Wilderness candidates in Shenandoah National Park in the run-up to passage of the Eastern Wilderness Act in 1975. Paul currently lives in New York but is still engaged in helping VWC protect more wild places on federal public land in Virginia and secure the Little River mineral rights on Shenandoah Mountain.
