SUMMARY:Stories From the Storm: A free writing workshop led by Lauren Graeber
DESCRIPTION:Hurricane Helene roared through our region and blew apart our lives in ways both monumental and mundane. If you’ve struggled to put your experiences of Helene into words – and you’d really like to – this workshop is designed to help you tell your stories from the storm. Participants will work through guided writing exercises each session to gather and articulate their memories of Helene and its aftermath. Sessions are designed to help you begin writing rather than to construct a finished narrative for publication (though we’ll be generating a lot of material that you could work with). No formal writing experience is necessary and no sharing will be required. \nThursdays • 1-2pm \nMarch 6\, 13\, 20 \nAges 18+ \nFREE and open to the public

SUMMARY:Hemlock Treatment Demonstration at the North Carolina Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:The Hemlock Restoration Initiative (HRI) is hosting a demonstration of chemical treatment methods to control the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) on Friday\, March 14th from 1pm to 4pm at the NC Arboretum\, located at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way\, Asheville\, NC. \nHemlock trees in western North Carolina are an important and irreplaceable component of our forests. These trees have been suffering for over two decades from hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive insect that can kill the tree in as little as four years. \nHowever\, hemlock management is simpler and less expensive than ever before. This hands-off demonstration will be useful for landowners\, natural resource managers and tree care professionals. We will use the trees on-site to practice assessing hemlock health to determine the best treatment options\, and HRI staff will demonstrate the HWA chemical treatment methods used on national forest and state lands. These methods are available to all private landowners in North Carolina without obtaining a license or certification. We will also discuss applicator and environmental safety\, special considerations and guidance for hiring a tree care professional. \nThe program is free to the North Carolina Arboretum members\, but nonmembers will need to pay a $20 entrance fee. Registration is required by Wednesday March 13th. Visit our website for information on how to register. Email education@savehemlocksnc.org or call 828-252-4783 with questions about the event.

SUMMARY:FASHION / PUPPET SHOW: How do we disappear yet still be seen?
DESCRIPTION:The Swannatopia Experimental Art Club will host a FASHION / PUPPET show on Friday\, March 14th at BMCM+AC\, featuring an improvised live scored orchestra\, “river runway\,” and a lineup of wearables exploring the theme: “How can we disappear but still be seen?” \nThis closing party will celebrate the exhibition DEER FREAKS…and decoys\, located downstairs at BMCM+AC. DEER FREAKS…and decoys is a multi-media\, multi-layered project of Swannatopia responding to The Farm at Black Mountain College exhibition. The installation at BMCM+AC explores the hyper-natural forces of attraction and repulsion informing our interactions with the landscapes we inhabit. From fence rows to scare-crows\, DEER FREAKS documents the creative ways people propagate\, shape\, lure\, and protect in their environments. \nBring binoculars and sunglasses to participate in “birding” during the show. Wear your finest deer / duck / turkey / moth / forest outfits and accessories. Want to join the runway and become part of this fashion experiment? Reach out to Swannatopia at swannatopia [@] gmail\, or via their Instagram.
