The essays are greatly expanded from the original book and correspond to the sequence of weeks in the cyclical year. The book also features core\u00a0material for students of the natural systems of the Piedmont, activities that I have developed over some 25 years\u00a0as an environmental and Natural History educator,\u00a0science coordinator and public school teacher. The purpose of these activities\u2014more than sixty of them\u2014is to provide the curious with the chance to develop a relationship with the Natural World through observation, participation and play.\u00a0Two interviews with Tom Ellis, former superintendent of North Carolina State Parks are included in the book, one to lend perspective on the origin of the North Carolina State Parks system and the other a cameo piece in a section of book relating the inspiring environmental success story of the Eno River. Also included in the proposed book is as an interview with Thomas Berry recorded in his Greensboro home in the winter of 2002 as well as\u00a0several of my own short essays on Nature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Us on Bolin Creek and in the Woods next Saturday morning With Dave Cook, author of the New Piedmont Almanac \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Saturday, Nov 9 at 10 am in\u00a0Wilson Park\u00a0Parking lot.
