2010 High Knob Naturalist Rally

Horse loggingI hope you'll all join us at Bark Camp Lake on Saturday (October 2) for the fourth High Knob Naturalist Rally.  I'll be leading a hike on Appalachian Ecology at 10 am, then hope to attend the Mushroom Identification hike at 2 that afternoon.  Here's the complete schedule:

Morning Workshops (10 am - 12 noon):
Appalachian Ecology by Anna Hess
Nature and Scenic Photography by Bill Harris
Edible and Medicinal Plants by Carol Judy
Climatology of High Knob by Wayne Browning
Geocaching by Karen Davidson

Johnny Stanley with a Destroying Angel mushroomFree lunch at noon with entertainment by Strawberry Jam.  (I guess my first reading of the schedule was wrong --- no homemade strawberry jam on the menu.)

Horse logging demonstration by Chad Miano after lunch

Afternoon Workshops (2 pm - 4 pm):
High Knob Biology Hike by Lois Boggs
Salamander and Snakes Hike by Justin Harris.  (Kids love this program.)
Geology of High Knob by Phil Shelton
Mushroom Identification by Johnny Stanley
Wetlands Hike by Chuck Lane

There is also a hands-on childrens' program led by innovative middle school teacher Karen Hartsock.  Unlike other local rallies, the High Knob rally is free (although the Forest Service does require that you pay a $3 parking fee per vehicle.)  For directions or to learn about The Clinch Coalition who organizes this great event every year, go to www.clinchcoalition.net.
