Resources

The Appalachian mountain range represents the second most botanically diverse region in the world, second only to the Amazon rainforest.

These mighty mountains also mark the salamander capital of the world, home to more species of these cute crawlies than anywhere else on the planet.

Beyond flora and fauna, there is also an outstanding community of herbalists, educators, and organizations working along with, and on behalf of, the plant world. Some of these friends are:

Herbal Academy
Phyllis Light & the Appalachian Center for Natural Health
