SUMMARY:Survival Craft: Building an Outdoor Shelter
DESCRIPTION:A hands-on seminar that teaches you the vital skills needed to protect yourself from the elements when modern gear isn’t an option. This course moves beyond “camping” to focus on the physics of heat retention and the engineering of emergency structures. You will learn to think like a survivalist\, evaluating your environment for the “Rule of Threes” and identifying natural resources to build a life-saving microclimate. From the iconic debris hut to advanced tarp configurations\, we will cover the construction of shelters that block wind\, shed water\, and trap body heat. Whether you are a hiker\, a back-country enthusiast\, or someone who wants to be prepared for the unexpected\, this seminar will give you the confidence to build a “home” wherever you stand. Participants will be taken to our wooded trails\, where they will be shown how to forage for the right shelter materials.  \n  \nAudience Target: Adults and teens ages 10+. Ideal for anyone interested in survival craft. \n \nFormat: Seminar & Hike \n \nWorkshop Benefits/Learning Outcomes: \n\nApply Site Selection Priorities (The S.T.O.P. Method): Participants will be able to evaluate a potential shelter site for critical safety and comfort factors\, including avoiding “widowmakers” (dead hanging limbs)\, identifying natural windbreaks\, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent water pooling.\nConstruct a Thermally Efficient Debris Hut: Attendees will demonstrate the ability to engineer a ridgepole-and-rib frame and apply “squirrel-warm” levels of natural insulation (leaves\, pine needles\, or moss) to minimize heat loss through radiation and convection.\nDemonstrate Waterproofing and Thatching Techniques: Participants will learn to apply natural “shingling” methods using bark\, boughs\, or grasses\, ensuring that layers are oriented to correctly shed precipitation away from the sleeping area.\nEngineer a Thermal Ground Barrier: Attendees will be able to construct an insulated “sleeping mattress” using at least 12 inches of compressed debris or raised timber to prevent conductive heat loss\n\nFee: $40 for non-members\, $35 for members \nLimited Availability. Please Preregister at: https://shop.capefearbg.org/SelectEvent.aspx?eventID=1000147\n \nPresenter:  Daniel Rundell is a northwestern native with many years of outdoor survival and bushcraft experience. Some of his passions include: wild edible & medicinal plant knowledge\, primitive shelter construction and self rescue techniques. Daniel\, a former professor at FSU\, enjoys spending his free time learning new techniques to use in the wild and is always looking for his next camping adventure.

SUMMARY:Nature's Skyscrapers: Understanding NC's Trees
DESCRIPTION:In the rolling hills and coastal plains of North Carolina\, our native trees are more than just scenery—they are the living infrastructure of our ecosystem. Nature’s Skyscrapers is a seminar dedicated to the giants of our landscape. We will explore the majestic canopy species that define the Tar Heel state\, from the ancient Bald Cypresses of our blackwater swamps to the towering White Oaks and Tulip Poplars of the Piedmont. \nAudience Target: Adults and teens ages 10+. Ideal for anyone who is interested in trees. \n \nFormat: Seminar \n \nWorkshop Benefits/Learning Outcomes: \n\nIdentify Keystone Canopy Species: Participants will be able to distinguish between North Carolina’s primary “skyscraper” species—such as the Tulip Poplar\, Loblolly Pine\, and various Oak species—using bark patterns\, leaf shapes\, and silhouette identification.\nAnalyze Vertical Ecosystems: Attendees will be able to describe the “layer cake” of life within a mature tree\, identifying the specific wildlife—from lichens to raptors—that depend on the various levels of a tall canopy.\nEvaluate Site Suitability for Large Species: Participants will learn to calculate “critical root zones” and overhead clearance requirements to ensure a large-stature tree can reach its full genetic potential without interfering with human infrastructure.\nImplement Long-Term Preservation Strategies: Participants will master the “dos and don’ts” of mature tree care\, including the dangers of soil compaction\, the myth of the “mulch volcano\,” and how to advocate for the protection of old-growth trees in their communities.\n\nFee: $20 for non-members\, $8 for members \nLimited Availability: Please Preregister at: https://shop.capefearbg.org/SelectEvent.aspx?eventID=1000148\n \nPresenter:  Chad Shelby has been studying Horticulture since 2018.
