Wright Scoop Launches Book, Eco-Legacy - a Millennium Woman’s Heritage
In celebration of eco heritage, the Wright Scoop – Sylvia Hoehns Wright, recipient of the ‘Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic’ award and founder of Plants of CARE plant recognition program launches book, Eco-legacy – a millennium woman’s heritage.
Richmond, VA, August 31, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Across the Nation, climatic shifts occur. “Challenging,” says Glen Allen, VA based The Wright Scoop –Sylvia Hoehns Wright, recipient of the ‘Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic’ award and founder of the Plants of CARE plant recognition program, “all to CARE – create a legacy of conservation, advocacy, recovery and eco-efficiency - create sustainable urban suburban landscapes, a healthy eco legacy.”
Eco-legacy – a millennium woman’s heritage –
A child of the ‘tell instead of read me a story’ era, Wright urges all to identify and record their family heritage. In her book, Eco-legacy – a millennium woman’s heritage which is dedicated to the people of her community Laurel Historic District, she invites readers to walk on a path worn smooth by generational expectation. Savor nostalgia for the places that are near and dear to heart, recall family traditions; and perhaps more importantly, renew experiences. Challenging all to celebrate heritage because heritage is more than a possession, it is a gift: the birthright of their children.
Described as “heartfelt” by the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star newspaper, readers of Wright’s life-style writings are advised to read more in the rhythm of a poem and let her essays and poems speak to them. Published in paper print and e-book/i-book formats, Eco-legacy – a millennium woman’s heritage is available at Laurel Gallery at 2805 Hungary Road in Richmond (Henrico) Virginia or through retail and/online book sellers or Wright’s LuLu Sylvia’s Store option, http://stores.lulu.com/syhwright.
Project Background –
A founding Director involved in the establishment of Laurel as a Historic District, Wright worked with residents to acquire both state and federal historical designation. During Henrico County’s 400 year celebration, she used artifacts to encourage residents to not simply identify but research and record their folklore, legends and family stories.
The recipient of family artifacts, pictures and documents, Wright first approached ownership from a genealogy perspective; but when the opportunity to restore her family’s grave site occurred, she researched its history and solicit historical designation which result in participation in a documentary - No Stone Unturned: Cemetery Identification in Henrico.
Aware heritage not only enabled her eco-caretaker perspective but influences all aspects of life experience, through speeches and workshops, Wright urges others to identify the influence of their heritage. Wright further advanced her historical focus as a speaker for the Civil War Sesquicentennial speaker series host by the Historical Society of Washington, DC and is recognized by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge George Washington Metal for her collaborative effort to promote an understanding and appreciation of America’s rich heritage and unique freedoms.
About Wright’s Eco Advocacy –
Sharing first-hand knowledge of the impact of 21st century urban development on her central Virginia wet-land property, Wright’s eco advocacy urges all to measure their eco-footprint, acquire an understanding of the influence of their present-day legacy, and then, enable a path of eco-efficiency for others. The present-day caretaker for her family’s 7th generational property, Wright credits the legacy of a rural Virginia childhood and Quaker lifestyle belief - view self as caretaker, not owner of property: a perspective of providing for present without sacrificing future – as the source for her eco commitment.
Recommended by Today’s Garden Center and Washington Gardener magazines and VA Home Grown TV personality Richard Nunnally, Wright’s advocacy is described as “Sylvia’s eco advocacy embodies every aspect of the consumer education campaign we hoped to inspire,” says Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen, “For, our vision is to be a global organization that empowers people within communities to change society through the responsible creation and preservation of sustainable green spaces, such that the ever-increasing impacts of global warming in the world are measurably reduced; because Green Matters!”
Identified by Landscape Architect magazine as an Industry ‘mover & shaker’, the Wright Scoop – Sylvia Hoehns Wright seeks to inspire people to create an eco-legacy of CARE, a perspective of conservation, accountability, recovery and eco-efficiency – ‘green’ America’s landscape!

Side Bar – “As an environmentalist and president of the Cornell Douglas foundation, I have been searching for new words to define those of us who advocate for protecting our natural resources for future generations. Wright's word- eco-legacy is perfect: it encourages all of us to recognize that water, land, and air are not expendable luxuries, but critical resources we must sustain in our roles as responsible stewards.”
