The southern Appalachians provide one of the most diverse habitats for plants and animals on the planet. Life flourishes in the temperate and moist conditions of this region where the ecology is elegantly complex, vistas are breathtaking, and waterfalls abound. This class is intended to whet the appetite for learning more about this phenomenal place. Seasonal examples and observations will enrich our understanding of this area. |
The presenter is Jennifer Frick-Ruppert, Associate Professor of Ecology and Environmental Science at Brevard College. For several years, she wrote the column "Appalachian Almanac" in the Transylvania Times. She has spent years observing, photographing, and teaching the various seasonal habitats in this part of the world.
