Speaker Series & Nature Events
Part of SRLT's mission is to bring people to nature and to educate a diverse group of people about the natural woods and waters around them. Whether you enjoy a speaker talk or participate in a Nature Event you will enjoy educational experiences and have fun. Please keep checking back for updates to this page!
Payment for events is on a sliding scale. A suggested donation of $10 is recommended, but we won't turn anyone away. We just request that you donate if it moves you to help us to continue to bring you nature-based events. We are building a page to provide PDFs of select presentations and additional resources here.
