Description:
Sustainable Blacksburg presents their August Sustainable Blacksburg Lunch and Learn series with their program titled "Conserving Virginia's Extraordinary Invertebrate Heritage" on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at the Blacksburg Library and online on Zoom.

Virginia is home to a marvelous diversity of invertebrate animals, from burrowing cliff-clinging snails to unique cave-dwelling isopods. Despite 400 years of study, it continues to surprise naturalists with new species. Yet this diversity is imperiled. Learn what the Virginia Institute for Invertebrates is doing about it, and what you can do to help.

Our speaker will be Dr. Ben Jantzen, President, Virginia Institute for Invertebrates, Ltd.
