MUSIC.
You’ve been listening to part of a special Virginia version of “Hills and Hollers,” by Adrienne Young and Little Sadie. The original “Hills and Hollers” was on the 2005 album “The Art of Virtue” on the AddieBelle Music label. In 2007, Ms. Young and her group performed the Virginia version in a Department of Game and Inland Fisheries video about the Virginia Wildlife Action Plan. First approved in 2005, the Wildlife Action Plan is a 10-year strategy that identifies 925 species of greatest conservation need, the habitats that support these species, and the tasks needed to conserve the species and the habitats. In 2013, the department is beginning the plan’s first update, which is due to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2015. For more information about the Virginia Wildlife Action Plan, and to see the Adrienne Young video, visit www.bewildvirginia.org. Thanks to the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries for permission to use this week’s music.

From the Virginia Water Resources Research Center in Blacksburg, I’m Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.
