Pitt Harding, of JSU’s English Department, will share samples from the writings of William Bartram, Thoreau, and other observers of nature. Dr. Mijitaba Hamissou, of JSU’s Biology Department, will be identifying spring wildflowers on this easy going hike at the base of Dugger Mountain Wilderness. No drawing or writing experience necessary. Bring a sketchbook or journal and drawing materials such as pencils, colored pencils, or small watercolor boxes.
