Naturalist to speak on spring wildflowers

Naturalist to speak on spring wildflowers

Join naturalist Scott Dean for a discussion and photos of our region’s native spring wildflowers. Dean will discuss natural history, adaptations for life in the mountains, and the folklore of these wondrous things. He will also talk about some of the animals that make the region their home.

Biologist Scott Dean has called Western North Carolina home since 1992. He was a walk leader and featured speaker for the UNC-Asheville Wildflower Pilgrimage from 1995-2015. Dean has led wildlife and wildflower walks at the Western North Carolina Nature Center, where he worked for a year building the cougar and bobcat habitats. 

The discussion will be held on Zoom at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. This free program is open to the public. Advance registration is on WNCSierraClub.org or through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tzckdeqgqtgtgdwpypih9lt3iwh8ign01dmd.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
