Announcement of April 1, 2015 KTOS Program
Title: “Urban Hikes in Knoxville and Knox County”
Speakers: Ron Shrieves, Mac Post and Christine Hamilton
Please join us on *Wednesday, April 1 *for a presentation entitled *“Urban
Hikes in Knoxville and Knox County*” by Sierra Club Members, Ronald
Shrieves, Mac Post and Christine Hamilton, co-authors of “Urban Hikes in
Knoxville and Knox County.”
Written and researched by Ron Shrieves, Mac Post, and Christine Hamilton,
“Urban Hikes in Knoxville and Knox County” published by the Legacy Parks
Foundation, grew out of their desire to encourage hikers to rethink why and
where they hike. More than just physical exercise, the authors were
inclined to describe hike venues in terms of the potential for stimulating
sightings of birds, flowers, geological formations, architecture, vistas,
or their role in important historical events, all in areas close to home.
KTOS member, Ron Shrieves, an aspiring birder and nature photographer, will
present a slide show about the book project: hiking the trails,
photography, compiling data, maps, etc.
Mac Post will discuss the Sierra Club’s “Inspiring Connections Outdoors”
(ICO) program for area youth, using Knoxville’s “Urban Wilderness” as a
venue for providing positive outdoor experiences. He sees possibilities
for co-operation with the KTOS Discover Birds program.

The meeting begins at 6:45 pm in Room 118 of the University of Tennessee
College of Veterinary Medicine. For directions, please visit the meetings
