Passport to nature

Interested in Wildlife?

If so, come out to the 14th Annual Wildlife Weekend at Steele Creek Park hosted by the Friends of Steele Creek Nature Center & Park and our own Parks and Recreation Department.

On Friday, October 14 an evening program titled "porch light insects" by Larry McDaniel will follow the photography contest awards and reception in the Lodge.  The award ceremony will start at 6:30 p.m.

A day full of activities will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday the 15th including bird banding, nature hikes, wildflower & mushroom walks, lots of kids activities, and much much more.

All activities are free - a deal at any price.  Call or visit the Nature Center (423.989.5616) for more details and a full schedule of events.

Mushrooms?  Hmmm, I could use a few good ones atop my next pizza project - but I guess I better not.  peace
