Connections in Nature

with Eric Young

Thursday, October 16 |  5:30 - 7pm

As John Muir said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” These connections in nature are amazing, almost fantastical, at times. Eric Young will share his love and knowledge of the amazing interrelationships in the natural world through stories, visual aids, and activities.

Eric Young retired down to Brevard five years ago after 23 years as a program director in a nature center on Long Island in New York. He is a naturalist, environmental educator and storyteller who loves nature and the outdoors and wants to continue to share it with the general public.
