Guest speaker Steve Soreff presents a program called “Wilderness Speaks.”
The wilderness represents renewal, beauty, challenge, adventure and self-discovery. It speaks in many ways: the sun radiates energy; the rocks tell time; water allows life; the trees are witness to the ages; and the birds announce the day. In this interactive presentation you’ll have a chance to hear the unique voices of the wilderness.
