Waterfall Keepers of NC

Our speaker will be Kevin Adams who is a naturalist, writer, teacher, and photographer and who has had a lifelong love affair with nature and the outdoors.  He spent the last 4 decades exploring the waterfalls in NC and in 2020, he founded Waterfall Keepers of North Carolina, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization with the mission to promote and advance the cultural, economic, ecological, and historical significance of North Carolina waterfalls; to serve as an educator and advocate; and to preserve waterfalls and facilitate their enjoyment in perpetuity.

Our speaker Stewart Skeate PhD., says that the month of September is a great time for both plants and birds and to observe nature.  He will explore what plants and birds are doing in his discussion of plant flowering, bird migration and bird mating in the Southern Appalachians. From showy fields of asters and goldenrods to migrating warblers and hawks, this is a special time.
