See You Soon

Please be advised. This post is shameless self-promotion. I have several appearances forthcoming this Apri, including participation as a speaker in the annual Trails and Trilliums naturalist rally at Beersheba Springs.

Welcome to the 20th Annual Trails & Trilliums!

April 19-21, 2024 at Beersheba Springs, TN

https://www.trailsandtrilliums.org/

Trails & Trilliums​ is a weekend-long naturalist rally, put on by the Friends of South Cumberland State Parks. Headquartered at the Beersheba Springs Assembly in Beersheba Springs, Tennessee, the festival offers a slate of guided hikes and nature-themed presentations and workshops. A native plant sales tent is a highlight.

Young naturalists will enjoy two Family Adventures Days with hands-on outdoor activities.

​The weekend kicks off with a Hootenanny & Cookout on Friday night and on Saturday evening, the fun continues at Wine & Wildflowers with happy hour, dinner, and a reception at the Big Red Barn.

My presentation summarizes the literary works of Robert Sparks Walker, founder of the Chattanooga Audubon Society and namesake of the Robert Sparks Walker Lifetime Achievement Award presented yearly by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
