Look around you. We live in a wonderland and much of it is ephemeral. It comes and goes, passing through our lives in an instant. Join UT Arboretum education coordinator, Michelle Campanis, and naturalist/author, Stephen Lyn Bales, for “We Live in a Wonderland” on Thursday, December 12, 7 p.m. via Zoom.

From butterflies to hummingbirds to freshwater jellyfish to ghost plants, their appearance is short-lived and part of our wonderland. Stephen Lyn will explore many of these topics he has highlighted in his book “Ephemeral by Nature,” published by the University of Tennessee Press.

Hosted by the UT Arboretum Society, the program is free, but registration is required to receive your Zoom link and the recording. The program will be recorded and sent to all who register.
