SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Ecosystems – From Ice Age to the Present
DESCRIPTION:Blue Ridge Ecosystems – From Ice Age to the Present\nwith Dan Lazar \nWednesday\, November 18  |  1 – 3pm \nBRN – Core  |  BREG – Elective \nRegister Here!\nBlue Ridge ecosystems have changed dramatically since the end of the last ice age 18\,000 years ago.  For example\, while glaciers still covered northern Ohio and Pennsylvania\, the summits of the Great Craggy Mountains\, the Black Mountains and the Smokies were treeless and clothed in alpine tundra vegetation\, while Mastodons and Giant Ground Sloths roamed the valleys below.  As the climate warmed\, the plant and animal communities we see today slowly developed. \nDan Lazar served for many years as the director of education at the Western North Carolina Nature Center\, followed by several years as executive director of the Colburn Earth Science Museum. Dan has a degree in forest biology from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and has been an instructor in the Blue Ridge Naturalist program since 2005. \n●  Members: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
