BRFAL Involvement in SMLA Town Hall Meeting

In case you don’t know SMLA is an acronym for Smith Mountain Lake Association. The SMLA is an organization dedicated protecting the investment of SML residents.  So what does that have to do with our BRFAL chapter and the Virginia Master Naturalists? Well quite a bit actually. The SMLA sponsors several BRFAL activities.
