Workshops & Lectures

Throughout the year Autrey Mill presents workshops and lectures on various nature and heritage topics.

  • Adopt a Stream Workshop participants leave a jam-packed day with the tools they need to conduct a successful Chemical Stream Survey according to AAS Guidelines. This hands-on interpretive class spans a basic vocabulary of water science with a new emphasis on hands-on learning.
  • View our calendar for upcoming workshops and lectures.
