Join Conserving Carolina and Laughing Waters Retreat Center for a free lecture entitled, "Wild Encounters," presented by naturalist and educator, Carlton Burke, of Carolina Mountain Naturalists, on Saturday, June 10 at 10:30am. The event will take place in an outdoor pavilion located in the orchard at Laughing Waters Retreat Center, 3259 Gerton Highway, Gerton.
The southern Appalachian Mountains are home to an incredible diversity of both plant and animal life. During this program, Carlton Burke will bring a variety of animals native to the region for you to learn about and see up-close. This program will include live animals and will be perfect for all ages! So, come out and bring the kids!
Guests are asked to park in the orchard, accessed from the address above, and can expect a short walk up a little hill and gravel driveway to the pavilion. If mobility is an issue, there is the opportunity to be dropped off closer to the pavilion.
