SUMMARY:All Things Appalachia: Moon Trees -- 55 Years of Living History
DESCRIPTION:“Moon Trees: 55 Years of Living History”\nThursday\, Feb. 5\n6-7 pm\nRogow Room \nProgram Description: \nFifty-five years ago\, a group of 500 seeds flew to the moon on Apollo 14. They would be planted during the bicentennial as “moon trees.” These historic trees—including one at the Cradle of Forestry in Pisgah National Forest—stand as a living legacy to the space program and launched a decades-long program to explore growing vegetables in space. Join children’s author and literacy advocate Carolyn Bennett Fraiser to explore the fascinating history behind the moon trees and how they are still impacting history today. \nPresenter Bio: \nCarolyn Bennett Fraiser is the author of several nonfiction books for children including Moon Tree: The Story of One Extraordinary Tree\, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection and winner of the SCBWI Crystal Kite Award. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville\, Fraiser spent more than 25 years as a writer\, graphic designer\, and photographer for international nonprofits\, covering little known stories around the globe. She currently lives in Brevard with her husband and serves on the board of directors for Bound for Glory\, a literacy and adventure camp in Transylvania County. \nAll Things Appalachia is a monthly program series at the Transylvania County Library exploring the people\, natural world\, culture\, and history of the southern Appalachian region.  Presenters include experts in the fields of history\, ecology\, outdoor recreation\, and more. \nThe programs are on the first Thursday evening of most months at 6:00 pm in the Rogow Room.  Each program lasts approximately one hour. These free programs are supported by the Friends of the Library.
