Bham Now Nature Roundup for the week of February 16, 2019

Welcome to the Bham Now Nature Roundup for the week of February 16, 2019.

Here is a “can’t miss” event for your calendar.

On March 14, 7:00 p.m. Birmingham-Southern College will be hosting  Chuck Leavell, well-known pianist and keyboardist for groups like The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band, and many more.

But did you know, Leavell is also an accomplished conservationist and tree farmer?

I wonder if he will get more questions about how Mick Jagger still  performs like he does at age 75, than creating a longleaf forest in South Georgia. Either way  – got to see Chuck on the 14th.
