Len Poulin (pictured), of the VMNH Foundation, along with VMNH Board Chairman Dr. Tom Benzing, Waynesboro Mayor Bobby Henderson, former Waynesboro Mayor Terry Short, Waynesboro Director of Economic Development & Tourism Greg Hitchin, and Waynesboro Parks & Recreation Director Dwayne Jones, recently contributed to a video production highlighting the planned Waynesboro campus of the Virginia Museum of Natural History.

The Waynesboro campus of VMNH is planned to be constructed in downtown Waynesboro and contain about 20,000 square feet of exhibits, classrooms, and visible laboratories, as well as a green roof overlooking the South River and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Waynesboro campus will focus on the characteristics of the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley that make the region truly distinctive, such as the region's aquatic ecology, from the Big Levels Salamander, which is only found within Augusta County, to springs that make the South River the state's greatest urban trout fishery.
