For nearly two decades, Winter Storytelling at Travelers’ Rest has been a seasonal celebration of the Séliš tradition of sharing stories during the cold winter months.

we will gather at the Travelers’ Rest State Park Visitor Center – and on Zoom – at 11 am to hear stories from elders, authors, historians, and naturalists.

Admission to Winter Storytelling is $5 per person; free for members of Travelers’ Rest Connection. A Zoom link is provided below; we hope all of our Zoom attendees will join the Connection or make a donation using the Donate button at the top of this page. Thank you!

He is an entertaining, award-winning speaker, and has visited more than six hundred schools and been invited to more than one hundred professional educational conferences. His latest book, Birding for Boomers, is a friendly, accessible, and humorous guide to discovering the joys of bird watching.
