Rediscover the deep-rooted connections between people and place in this immersive presentation on land ethics and natural history. You'll be invited to reflect on the ethical questions that arise when we consider ourselves not merely visitors, but vital participants in the natural world. Through stories of early explorers and botanists, we’ll uncover how natural history has shaped our sense of belonging and responsibility to the land. Expect to leave inspired, challenged, and more attuned to the rhythms of nature that surround us every day. About our speaker: Rick Huffman, President of the South Carolina Native Plant Society and recipient of the Lifetime Conservation Award, is a passionate advocate for ecological restoration and native plant preservation. With decades of hands-on experience and a gift for storytelling, Rick brings a compelling voice to the conversation about conservation, ethics, and our shared future with the natural world.
