Tea Time Walk at Center for Craft, Creativity
and Design in Hendersonville, NC, Features Don Osterberg on Apr.
6, 2004 at 10 AM
In Hendersonville, NC, Apr. is the time to see wildflowers. The
Center for Craft, Creativity and Design presents a guided walk
of our Perry N. Rudnick Nature Trail with biologist Dr. Don Osterberg.
Osterberg will point out the various species of wildflowers blooming
along the trail on Apr. 6, 2004, starting at 10am.
After almost forty years of teaching, Osterberg retired to Hendersonville. He is Professor Emeritus of Vertebrate and Aquatic Biology from the State University of New York, Potsdam, where he taught for thirty-one years. Osterberg has degrees from Montclair State University, New Jersey (BA), Michigan State University (MS), and the University of Ottawa, Canada (PhD). He is also an accomplished watercolor artist.
The Perry N. Rudnick Trail is a 1.2 mile trail that features three distinct eco-systems; a trillium and fern wetland, a rhododendron and mountain laurel hardwood area, and a wildflower meadow. The Rudnick Nature Trail was opened in May of 2002 through a generous grant from the Perry N. Rudnick Foundation, and through hours of work from the Carolina Mountain Club. Some flowers blooming along the trail in Apr. are long-spurred violet, trout lily, Indian cucumber root, Solomonís seal, southern nodding trillium, jack-in-the-pulpit, large whorled pogonia, and pink ladyslipper.
The walk will begin at the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design at 10 am. Refreshments will be provided. Dr. Osterberg has prepared an alternate indoor lecture for the Kellogg Conference Center in case of rain.
The Rudnick Trail is a project of the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design.
