Village Nature Series

The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and The Village Green co-host a series of lectures each summer. Visitors and residents learn about wildlife, habitats, conservation, and local cultural heritage from expert speakers in their fields! The Village Nature Series will begin at 5:30 pm on select Tuesdays during the months of April through September at The Village Green Commons located at 160 Frank Allen Road in Cashiers.

These programs are FREE, family-friendly, held RAIN OR SHINE, and no reservations are required.

Thank you to Cedar Creek Club for sponsoring the Village Nature Series!
