Warriors Path State Park: 32nd annual Winter Garden Seminar
32nd annual Winter Garden Seminar – Monarch Migration and More – JANUARY 22
About the Guest Speaker:
Kris Light has taught environmental and science outreach classes for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the American Museum of Science and Energy and the Oak Ridge Schools since 1987. In 2003 she began using her photographs to develop a website called EastTennesseeWildflowers.com, which contains thousands of images of flowers, insects, birds, and other aspects of nature.
About the Seminar:
Kris will share both words and images of her Monarch studies from here to Mexico! She will teach us details about Monarch life cycle and migration. We’ll learn how we can play an essential role in attracting and protecting Monarch butterflies, and how our landscape choices and ecotourism choices can help protect many native species.
After Kris’ talk, her husband Kenny Light will share a unique hands-on science time especially for children called “Leonardo da Vinci: Artist and Engineer.” Young people will learn physics by creating hand-cranked Monarch Wings, Rubber Band Helicopters, and more.
