September Friends First Friday Natural Wonders of Georgia

| $12 general admission | $10 for members Register Online Based on noted science journalist Charles Seabrook’s personal bucket list and Ann Litrel’s insightful watercolors and sketches, “35 Natural Wonders of Georgia to See Before You Die” offers a fresh take on Georgia’s natural beauty in the tradition of naturalists such as John James Audubon and William Bartram. Such wonders include the Altamaha River, Providence Canyon, Brasstown Bald and Okefenokee Swamp. Charles Seabrook retired from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2005 after 34 years as a science and environmental writer. He continues to write his popular column, Wild Georgia, on a freelance basis, which runs in the AJC’s Living section on Saturdays. He is the author of three other books: ”Red Clay, Pink Cadillacs, and White Gold: The Kaolin Chalk Wars,” “Cumberland Island: Strong Women, Wild Horses,” and ”The World of the Salt Marsh: Appreciating and Protecting the Tidal Marshes of the Southeastern Atlantic Coast.” Ann Litrel is a nationally published artist whose paintings of botanical and wildlife subjects have appeared on prints, books, stationery and textiles. As a writer and illustrator, she has collaborated on three books and served as a monthly columnist for a range of publications on art, ecology, community and history. Litrel’s passion for arts and community led her to co-found the Woodstock Arts Center, an award-winning, multidisciplinary arts center on a four-acre campus. The registration deadline is noon on August 28.
