Reservations close Wednesday, October 14 at 5pm
Coinciding with America’s Everglades: Through the Lens of Clyde Butcher, join us for a special Dine & Discover Luncheon featuring Rebecca Henson, Founding Director of Springsong Museum in Silver Spring, Maryland, a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Rachel Carson.

Often regarded as the Mother of the Modern Environmental Movement, Rachel Carson was a National Book Award-winning author and biologist whose groundbreaking writing transformed the way people understood and valued the natural world. She traveled widely and spent time in the Everglades. Her work inspired generations to protect our environment and continues to influence conservation efforts today.

Henson will explore Carson’s enduring legacy while also sharing insights into Springsong Museum and its mission to preserve and celebrate Carson’s life, work, and lasting impact on environmental stewardship.

Luncheon reservations are required and can be made online. Seating is limited, and early registration is encouraged.
