Be among the very first to learn, explore, and connect at Tremont’s second campus in Townsend. Seasons of Connection is a limited series of hands-on workshops for adults, led by Tremont’s expert educators. Discover new skills, deepen your relationship with the land, and help shape the future of Tremont’s newest campus.

Slow down and spend a restorative day immersed in the rhythms of the season with Tremont’s education director, John DiDiego. Through guided observation, field journaling, and simple sketching, you’ll explore the connections between the natural world and your own life. Notice how plants and animals prepare for seasonal change, learn field marks useful for identifying species, and practice careful observation. You’ll leave with skills and practices that bring more wonder into your life – and a renewed sense of belonging to the world around you. 

Be prepared to hike 2-3 miles, both on and off trail.

Registration includes all course materials. Bring your own lunch. The class will take place on Tremont’s second campus property in Townsend, adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
