Biodiversity Hike and Overnight at Mt. LeConte- A Huge Success!

By Todd Witcher - Posted on 25 June 2012

We had a great group and a great hike and overnight to LeConte Lodge.

Please look for details about next years hike and plan to join us!

AUGUST 24 and 25, 2012

This event is truly the complete package! An experienced guide will educate participants about the natural and local history along the Alum Cave Trail to Mt. LeConte. Hikers will have lunch trailside (provided), and relax in the evening with an ATBI program.  In addition, a ranger will provide a program for us at the clifftops summit.  Afterwards we will enjoy dinner and a night's stay at the LeConte Lodge.  After a great night’s sleep we’ll have breakfast the next morning, and a trail lunch (if requested) for the hike home. Upon event completion, participants will receive a small gift of appreciation from the staff of DLIA.  $275 per person, all-inclusive call 865-430-4757 to buy tickets.

Living With Rarity

"...rare species have adapted to cope with life at low densities, in small areas, or in restricted habitats. Unfortunately, wild nature is no longer being left to its own devices, and many species face a tenuous future. Our own species, now shooting past 7 billion and far from rare, faces a different challenge: how to live sustainably without destroying the last strongholds of rarity. For rare species the struggle is to hang on for dear life until, one day, humans gain the wisdom and humility to share nature's kingdom."
