Ijams history

•
I will be speaking tonight at 7:30 p.m. to the Harvey Broome Group, the local chapter of the Sierra Club.

My topic is “Ijams: Past, Present and Future,” an overview of the nature center’s long history that can be traced back almost 100 years. I'll also pay particular attention to the recent acquisition of—and future plans for—the Imerys/Georgia Marble property, the so-called “Dry Quarry” adjacent to Meads Quarry. When it’s opened to the public, the new property will grow the nature center and park to about 278 acres.

Everyone is welcome. The group meets at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian-Universalist Church, 2931 Kingston Pike.
