Sense of Place Walk

When: July 6, 2023 @ 5:30 pm

Find a sense of place with Mainspring and the Macon County Public Library. 

On the first Thursday of each month, we will take a casual 1 mile stroll through the trails behind the library, noticing how the forest, meadow, and river changes with the seasons. Each month we will pick an aspect of nature to explore during our walk, and spend a brief moment learning about the evening’s theme before heading out on the trails to discover the world around us. This month we will learn about lichens!

This event is free and open to the public, and registration is not required to attend. We will meet in the Meeting Room at the Macon County Public Library (149 Siler Farm Rd, Franklin, NC 28734) at 5:30PM on the first Thursday through the spring and summer of 2023. The walk will take about an hour and is on a variety of trails, from narrow and sloped to wide and flat. 

For questions, please email Skye. This event is weather-dependent.

Sense of Place Walk 2023 Schedule:

May 4th, 5:30pm

June 1st, 5:30pm
