    • Needed equipment: ski poles are better than trekking poles, but don’t let pole-specificity get in the way of joining.  I wear my “second best running shoes,” not the best because it can be wet and muddy; but light hikers work, too. Plus the usual sun and tick repellents.

    9-11am  Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center

    • Let’s explore what’s in the drawers! Turtle shells, skulls, insects, and more. Even mounted specimens can be accessed in this class. Drawing what we see in nature is one of the best ways to connect with nature. But what’s it like to see and feel an animal’s skull up close?  Or a bird’s toes? This workshop, led by artist Sandy McDermott, is an opportunity to touch, feel, and hold some natural artifacts that we wouldn’t be able to handle, or shouldn’t, in an outdoor, live setting. This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in drawing and nature, no experience required.
