The 8th annual Mountain Wildlife Days, scheduled for July 15th and 16th at the Sapphire Valley Community Center, is shaping up to be one of the best in the history of this event. This educational and entertaining program for all ages provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with wild things and wild places. The weekend festivities are hosted by regional conservation group Wild South, and designed to introduce people to the wonders of nature and inspire a sense of responsibility to the natural world by directly connecting them to wildlife.
One of this year’s new presenters is Freeman Owle, who will share insights regarding how Cherokee value wild lives and wild places, not only in the past, but in today’s society. He was featured recently in a presentation by PBS involving the history of Appalachia. Freeman will also emphasize the importance of living respectfully with black bears in our changing environment.
