EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS: CANCELLED: We will invite Linda back at a later date. Linda Auld's presentation focuses on an amazing Louisiana pioneer woman, Caroline Dormon. Discover who she was, what she accomplished, her wonderful books, and her beloved home, Briarwood in Saline, Louisiana. The first woman hired by the U.S. Forestry Service (1921), Dormon was instrumental in establishing the Kitsachie National Forest (1930). Linda also hopes to promote awareness about the tornado that hit Briarwood last spring. The Briarwood Nature Preserve needs volunteers and donations to help with restoration efforts. Learn about Caroline Dormon's fascination with Louisiana's forests and native plants and how you can help restore a part of her legacy.
