Celebrating Mother Earth
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: March 2023
Earth Day, set for April 22, is a celebration of the mysteries and miracles bestowed upon all those who call this planet Home. On the Plateau, there’s an entire month to revel in.
Though Earth Day has been set aside as a reminder of the blessings that surround all of us, on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau there’s no point to limiting that spirit of gratitude to a single day – we’re all in the midst of year-round celebration.
Just consider the wild places literally right outside our doors; the incursions of bears and raccoons and raucous crows into our public spaces; the set-aside glories curated by the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust; the Glades at The Village Green; and the Highlands Nature Center and its unique native-plant Botanical Garden. The Plateau is a place where not much needs to inspire or motivate one to think about, appreciate, and respect nature. The beauty and natural surroundings are what draws people year-round.
In fact, the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust has a few things throughout April including the relaunch of its popular Eco Tours! You’re invited to a Spring Wildflower Walk on April 4, and its initial Eco Tour on April 14.
If you’re looking for a more strenuous commemoration, you can join the Land Trust’s two Trail Work Days – April 11 in Highlands and April 25 in Cashiers.
And if you’re looking for a more sybaritic way to celebrate Earth Day and support the Land Trust, make sure you visit Whiteside Brewing for Its Grub for Good event.
You can get information on all of this goodness by calling (828) 526-1111 or visiting hicashlt.org.
