About the guides:
Karen Lindauer, retired from CDC, has been an active volunteer at Woodlands Gardens and Mason Mill Park for a number of years. A long-time member of the GNPS, she has a special interest in herbaceous native plants and invasive plant removal. Her volunteer efforts are based on information gained through facilitating GNPS native plant rescues and volunteering with George Sanko at the GSU Perimeter College Botanical Garden. Nothing is more rewarding than “liberating” a tree from English Ivy. She especially enjoys sharing the incredible diversity at Woodlands Gardens–a botanical gem right in Decatur.
Sharon Worsham is a retired science and environmental education teacher. She enjoys being co-chair of the Intown GNPS Certification Committee and seeing so many wonderful native plant habitats of those certified. Her love of wildflowers began hiking in the North Georgia Mountains with the Georgia Botanical Society and rescuing native plants for her own yard. She has a deep appreciation of Woodlands Garden as a former Board member and long-time volunteer, where she helped write their trail guide and kiosk signage. Sharon enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for wildflowers and teaching workshops on foraging for wild foods.

Join Emily Clarke, Woodlands Summer Intern, as she shares a thought provoking presentation entitled Climate Change Mitigation.
Overview of Presentation: Human activity increases greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a warming atmosphere and planet, causing many consequences for people and wildlife alike. To decrease emissions, new technologies are in development and may be utilized soon as climate mitigation strategies. Carbon management is one strategy being considered by industries in the U.S. Southeast and will be discussed in this presentation.
Bio: Emily Clarke enjoys working in sustainability and conservation, especially when she can be outdoors. Past positions with AmeriCorps and the National Wildlife Federation have enabled her to explore the wetlands of south Louisiana and mountains in Colorado. She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Global Environmental Health at Emory with a focus on Climate and Health.
