Gather on the porch of Smoky Mountain Outdoor Center, 7138 E. Lamar Alexander Pkwy in Townsend, for social hour with Tremont Institute. You can hear about wildlife sightings, get information on hiking trails, and learn about what types of plants and animal life to look for this season in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

It’s a great time to get in the conversation about our local environment and meet other outdoor enthusiasts like yourself! This event is free and open to all ages. Complimentary refreshments will be available from the Dancing Bean Coffeehouse.
