Description

Join us on May 7 for an hour-long vacation!  The highest elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains are like another world. The environment is more like Canada than the East Tennessee Valley!  Consequently, you find different birds there, species like ravens, saw-whet owls, peregrine falcons, black-capped chickadees, winter wrens, and many more. We will meet these birds and discuss where you might find them!

Join the UT Arboretum Society via Zoom on Thursday, May 7 at 7pm EDT as Michelle Campanis, education coordinator at the University of Tennessee Arboretum, and naturalist/author Stephen Lyn Bales give us a tour "On Top of Old Smoky." This May meeting of the  First Thursday Nature Supper Club is free and Zoom a copy of the recording will be sent to everyone who registers. Closed captions are available. You provide your supper and we provide the nature! You do not even have to put on your shoes.
