On Wednesday, January 29, the staff of the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, led by John DiDiego, Education Director, toured the TRWA. The Tremont folks are our neighbors, just up the road in the National Park, where they provide experiential, nature-based learning for both kids and adults. As they gear up for their extensive summer camp season, we are happy they visited with us at the TRWA, explored our Arboretum, and the new additions at the Children’s Discovery Garden.   Allison & Rodney Pearson were the tour guides for this fantastic group!
