Our next Zoom event! The Architecture of the Appalachian Trail

The Blue Ridge Naturalist Network is pleased to announce an upcoming Zoom presentation on Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 5:30 P.M., entitled The Architecture of the Appalachian Trail (AT).  Our speaker will be Sarah Jones Decker who will discuss the structures along America’s most famous footpath and talk about her new book “The Appalachian Trail: Backcountry Shelters, Lean-tos, and Huts”.  For the first time, she documented all of the structures in one place and will explore their differences in design, materials, location, and delve into some of their history.

Sarah moved to Madison County from Virginia in 2003.  She thru hiked the AT in 2008 and again, in sections, in 2018-2019.  She has an MFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art & Design and a BA in Journalism and Creative Writing from Virginia Tech.  Sarah and her husband own Root Bottom Farm in Marshall, N.C. and she teaches part time at Mars Hill University.

If you are interested in attending this event please email our Vice President Barbara Harrison at Vicepresident@brnnetwork.org.
An email containing the meeting ID and password will be sent a few days prior to this event.
