Ah, aquatic plants. Love them or hate them, our lakes need vegetation to sequester nutrients, lock sediments in place, provide food and nursery habitat for wildlife, and shelter from predators. In some cases, there can be too much of a good thing. From nuisance natives to invasive species, join us for Part 2 of our Introduction to Lake Management Lecture Series to discover a new appreciation for aquatic plants, what happens when there are too many, and how to manage them.

Each week join Maggie Pichura, Senior Environmental Educator, on rambles on Teatown’s trails. Each ramble will focus on new topics such as tree identification and lore, wild edibles, forest forensics, and birding basics. For adults.

The Home Place is a memoir written by ornithologist and professor of ecology at Clemson University, J. Drew Lanham. Lanham’s memoir reads like a collection of essays detailing his keen observation of nature; the land and sky surrounding his rural South Carolina home comes alive through the eyes of a born naturalist and bird-lover. We get a rich understanding of who he is as a black man in the American south, a home he shares with others who look and act differently than he does, yet who share his love of nature. Lanham reflects: “Home, after all, is more than a place on a map. It’s a place in the heart.”
