The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and The Village Green co-host a series of lectures each summer. Visitors and residents learn about wildlife, habitats, conservation, and local cultural heritage from expert speakers in their fields! The Village Nature Series will begin at 5:30pm on the last Tuesday of each month (August’s presentation will be held on the 20th) from April through September at The Village Green in Cashiers.

Thank you to Cedar Creek Club for sponsoring the Village Nature Series!

July 31st Presentation Description: Story is a conservation value that doesn’t drive most people’s ideas of evaluating and saving land. John Lane will discuss his latest book GULLIES OF MY PEOPLE in hopes of beginning a conversation about adding “restorying” to the index of conservation values. Lane knows through experience that stories are often lost as land changes land and status and creating narratives can reattach memories and events to places.
