Join us for an exciting journey into the world of ferns in Great Smoky Mountains National Park! UTK Ecology and Evolutionary Biology lecturer and renowned botany expert, Dr. Pat Cox, will share her in-depth knowledge of the park’s diverse fern species.
Join us to document pollinators and the host plants and wildflowers they are visiting! There is so much more to learn about pollinators and their vital role in the ecosystems of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Join us for our first volunteer event of the year on Saturday, March 1 from 4:30 to 8:30pm to survey amphibians in Cades Cove!
We’ll be working with experts from the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy (arcprotects.org), University of TN and Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont (gsmit.org) to document any frogs and salamanders we see, calls we hear and egg masses we find!
At Discover Life in America, we sincerely believe that recognizing and documenting life in the Smokies is the first essential step in preserving nature in the national park and around the globe.
