Description
The Appalachian Mountains and its foothills are a wonderland of plants and animals. This lush green Eden is filled with thousands of wonders from mysterious owls hiding along the crest of the Smokies to bears, otters, and the shy ones wearing masks. Although we almost lost raccoons due to fashion crazies of the last century.
Local naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales grew up in Gatlinburg at the base of Mount LeConte and is the author of the new book "We Live in a Wonderland: Appalachia."
Join Michelle Campanis, education coordinator at the University of Tennessee Arboretum, and Bales as he gives us an overview of his latest book. The book is a collection of 26 wanderings, wonderings, and stories from Appalachia and its foothills including "Symphony Charmed Owl", "A bucket full of Starlings" and "Homeless Raccoon" plus bears, otters, bluebirds and wrens. No matter where you live you will learn to see the beauty of our natural world in a new and unique way from the observations of Stephen Lyn Bales.
