This is an Enlightenment Salon event. Registration is required.
Join in a discussion with naturalists, nature writers and leaders of nature-restoration efforts in Northern California. How can writings from nature lovers like Rousseau, Thoreau and Emerson make you better appreciate and understand your surroundings? When you’re standing in nature, how can you best use your senses to get a total immersion? What info about the birds, bees, flora and fauna could be most useful for you? And what can you do as a California citizen, and a citizen scientist, to keep our region’s natural gems blooming and blossoming?
GUESTS:
Gregory Ira, director of the UC Environmental Stewards Statewide Program, which offers California Naturalist and Climate Stewards programs to adults
Janice Kelley, nature writer, interpretive naturalist and founder of the Nature Detectives afterschool program
Michelle Stevens, professor of environmental studies at CSU Sacramento, and leader of the Bushy Lake Restoration Project in Sacramento
Combine the Café with the “Spring Awakening” cello recital happening beforehand, at 2 pm, for an afternoon of music, stories and philosophy to give you cheer and calm.
