Each time Kate Frost wanders into the WNC Nature Center in Asheville, she can’t help but be overjoyed by the animals she sees and the unforgettable experiences she takes with her.
“Every time I get a chance to go to a wildlife park,” Frost said, “it’s [for] the children at heart [as an adult] who always want to learn, who love animals and nature.”
As the executive director of the Friends of the WNC Nature Center, Frost oversees a conversation organization that “inspires a passion to know more, care more, and do more for the wildlife of the Southern Appalachians.”
“And there’s nothing better than people who have reached out to say, ‘I went there as a kid, and now I’m taking my kids,’” Frost said. “This truly is such an intergenerational place, and so many people are finding so many different things from it.”
