Westmoreland Conservancy Annual Banquet
The Westmoreland Conservancy Annual Dinner was held on Sunday, May 22, 2005 at the beautiful Grand View Golf Club. Many took part in a pleasant evening with great food and lively conversation. Dick Byers was the speaker. His talk and slide show concerned animal adaptations. Everyone delighted in the wonderful pictures of colors, behaviors, camouflage and other aspects of these wonderful adaptations in nature. We were joined by Bill Lord of the American Chestnut Foundation, who enjoyed the banquet, and spoke for a minute about his foundation and their effort to restore the American Chestnut tree.
