Connect with nature from home

Tremont Institute is working through quarantine to connect people and nature using its website and social media channels.

Teacher naturalists are sharing the historical and cultural roots of Southern Appalachian music through recorded songs, with other posts focusing on nature mysteries. A series of nature journal prompts on social media and Tremont’s website help people create a journal documenting nature they can observe in their own backyards and homes. 

Tremont is also sharing educational resources from local partners in the Smokies and other environmental organizations across the country. Recently staff from Tremont Institute collaborated with staff members at the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio on a video exchange to help share the histories of each national park with a broader audience. 

Visit Tremont at www.gsmit.org or on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
