Cowan Community Action Group is excited to host the fourth workshop in our Cowan Nature Series with naturalist Martina Hines!

Join us for a Native Wildflowers Nature Walk as we slow down, enjoy the beauty around us, and learn more about the native fall wildflowers that call our mountains home.

Saturday, August 29
12:00 PM
Meet at the City of Whitesburg Farmers Market

From there, we'll travel together to Little Shepherd Trail for an easy nature walk where Martina will help us identify native wildflowers and learn about their importance to pollinators and our local ecosystem.

Whether you're a longtime nature lover or just curious about what's blooming along our roadsides and trails, everyone is welcome! Bring comfortable walking shoes, some water, and your curiosity.

Come spend an afternoon with us appreciating the beauty of the place we call home. If you would like to join us, please register at the link below.
