The Nature of History
In this summer's edition, we examine how weather and climate conditions changed the course of the American Civil War.
This season, we're celebrating the history of our nation's majestic symbol – the American Bald Eagle.
The autumn harvest was the source of the celebration, including onions, beans, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, carrots, peas and corn, though possibly in the form of cornmeal or corn porridge.
The “dog days” of summer have arrived, along with all the exciting and unique creatures that historically make their presence known with the elevated temperatures.
April provides many chances to appreciate the beauty of nature in Spring, most especially with Earth Day and Arbor Day. Earth day celebrations are planned all over the country, highlighting the importance of protecting and conserving natural resources! One of the most unique and special natural resources on Earth is the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
The American Battlefield Trust is hopeful for a year of good health, along with plenty of time for outdoor recreation on our nation’s battlefields. And there’s nothing like a battlefield hike when that battlefield just so happens to be located within mountain ranges!
Introducing The Nature of History
The American Battlefield Trust has preserved over 50,000 acres of land that include wildlife habitat, soils, streams, trees, flora, and fauna that are part of our ecosystem. In this new quarterly email series, we’ll be highlighting all the natural resources present on and affected by battlefield land preservation. We hope you’ll enjoy the beauty of nature as it exists on our most hallowed ground. Learn more about the environmental benefits of battlefield preservation.
