Join creator and visionary Dr. John Pickering on a moderately-strenuous two- to three- hour hike around Shoal Creek Sanctuary, 247 acres of land under a conservation easement on the east side of Athens. The sanctuary's mission is to improve biodiversity and serve as a practical model for pesticide-free, community-driven conservation. Dr. Pickering will guide attendees through his various projects and progress on the sanctuary and share his vision for this land and beyond. During the tour, Dr. Pickering will: (1) show upland, slope, aquatic, and floodplain habitats; (2) discuss land use history since colonial times, and (3) describe how we are removing invasive species, controlling deer, and restoring native species. Wear sturdy shoes/boots and come rain or shine (there will be a make-up day for severe weather). Visit shoalcreeksanctuary.org.

Dr. Armitage will educate and entertain with his Tales From The Garden. Was there really someone called Joe Pye? Of all the flowers in the world, why is the poppy the flower of remembrance? What do bachelor's buttons have to do with bachelors, and why is a dogwood called a dogwood? It has nothing to do with dogs. Enjoy the stories behind the common names of plants we know. Smile and learn.
