IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom at the Vineyard Church
Most of us have always enjoyed, indeed loved, the outdoors, and we have cherished our walks to see flowers, birds, butterflies, and all of nature’s gifts. However, many of us have been slowed in recent years by knee surgeries, hip replacements, the effects of arthritis, and general loss of the energy we once had. Yet our love of the outdoors has remained steadfast. Today’s class provides an alternative to the walks we so enjoyed, and we will find that our communion with nature need not be curtailed, just modified. Join frequent Elderwise presenter Don Chalfant as he presents a motoring route in southwest Washtenaw County, plus a drive down his favorite road in the county, which will result in seeing a surprising number of nature’s treasures. Enjoy Don’s classroom photo trip; then plan one for yourself and your family. Don Chalfant has been entertaining and enlightening the Elderwise community for many years with his profound knowledge and stunning photographs of North America’s natural world. Don received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Michigan. Since retiring from teaching in the Ann Arbor Public Schools, Don is eager to share his passion for birds and other flora and fauna through his photos.
