> Come and join the Sequatchie Valley Institute staff and friends along with the ragwort, dwarf buckeye, phlox, bloodroot, trout lily, trilliums, wild geranium, redbuds, and dogwoods in the coves and hollows of the beautiful Sequatchie Valley for our spring wildflower hikes, March 26 and April 16. The hikes, through land protected by the Land Trust of Tennessee, will be accompanied by naturalists and foresters familiar with the geography, ecology and ethnobotany of the area.
>  
> We will begin each hike at 1 CDT (2 EDT-Chattanooga time) from Moonshadow, the SVI center. You must arrive at our parking area no later than 12:30 to assemble for a shuttle or hike to Moonshadow, one mile up a nature trail from the parking area.  The moderate/easy hike will meander for 2 hours below the bluffs to discover the native flora awakening after winter. A more rugged hike will continue on to the creek and up the canyon, exploring the hidden treasures of Appalachia. The hikes will be along rocky mountain trails and unfortunately, are not handicap accessible.   Please be prepared with long pants, hat, sturdy shoes, rainwear/umbrella, water, snacks, camera, id books, journal, etc.  Kids of all ages are welcome!  No pets will be allowed as the entire area is a nature preserve.  Plan to take lots of pictures! 
>  
> You are welcome at 11 CDT for a tour of our permaculture landscape, hand-crafted solar-powered off-grid homes and structures, and Liquidambar Art Gallery at SVI, featuring the artwork of staff and local artists. You may wish to bring snacks or a lunch to eat at our beautiful picnic areas in the woods before the hike. We?ll provide herb tea and coffee.  After the hike, relax and share a glass of wine and cheese at the Gallery.
> Your donation of $5-20+ will be used for educational programs at SVI, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit educational organization promoting education and research in sustainable green living, ecology, and art.
