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!

September Presentation Description: These days, there is a good chance you’ve heard about the plight of North Carolina’s native pollinators. Join Bryan Tompkins, US Fish and Wildlife Biologist, as he discusses what’s causing native insect population declines and examines the survey efforts, data collection, and habitat restoration efforts taking place in Western North Carolina.
