Ever wonder what it would be like to visit a waterfall in the dark and experience its wonder through your other heightened senses? This adventure will be led by Lynda Doucette, Waterfall Keepers of NC Board member and veteran of 30 years as a ranger in the National Park Service (16 of those at Great Smoky Mountains National Park). Lynda has a BS degree with a double major in Outdoor Education and Park Management. She will guide us as we search for bioluminescent plants and mushrooms, listen for nocturnal creatures, and consider how forest life changes when the sun goes down at a waterfall.
