Posted by Susan in Virginia Wildlife on Oct 19th, 2010 | 0 commentsBiologists from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF), and partners from Virginia Tech, the Nature Conservancy, and the USFWS stocked thousands of mussels into the Clinch River, Russell County. The Clinch River has more species of endangered freshwater mussels than any other river in North America. Elementary school students from Cleveland, VA, participated in the event, and learned about the many functions of mussels, including providing habitat for fish, becoming food for many other animals, and filtering and cleaning the water in our streams and rivers. Over 3500 federally-endangered mussels were produced at the Department's Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center in Marion, Virginia.

He's a legend in racing, but racing isn't his passion; it's just something he's good at. He's a conservationist at heart and has used his racing prominence as a platform from which to raise awareness about nurturing our natural resources.
