. “The Nature Around Us: Woodland Oddities” September 9 lecture to be held at the Mary Keller Community Room (under the GVM office) at 6:30-7:30PM.
“The Nature Around Us: Woodland Oddities” will be presented by local naturalist and member of the Ecology Committee, Terry Campbell. Hikers and backpackers are often goal-oriented and in a hurry. Many take to the forest for a fast-paced hike to reach a particular destination; however, being too focused on such physical goals prevents one from appreciating the trail itself. A high-quality walk in the woods is never pressured by time allowing the opportunity for discovery. Please join us to learn what one may find while taking a stroll in our local woodlands.

And that’s just the beginning of what you will learn from Taylor’s presentation. This might also be presentation that your children will love.
