If you have ever visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, then you know the abundance of natural beauty that abounds. This is a place where a rich variety of plant and wildlife species thrive, and pristine waters flow. At Peaceful Side Social Brewery + Craft Kitchen, we make it part of our purpose to foster the preservation and protection of our natural environment, and be good stewards in the partnership we share with nature. Sip + Savor + Support is an initiative we founded to instill this purpose within our community, and to give the opportunity for our guests to give back. This month we are highlighting the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. Keep reading to learn more about how we are involved with GSMIT and why!

 

Last year, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park welcomed over 14 million visitors, and every year that number increases as more people start to enjoy the great outdoors. In Townsend, TN, we are home to the most visited National Park in the United States, and with the increase in heavy traffic, we are beginning to see changes to our habitat. We feel it’s important to protect our environment more than ever, and that is why we support Tremont Institute’s efforts to educate visitors about how to enjoy our natural environment responsibly. Sip + Savor + Support creates the funds to help organizations like Tremont Institute provide resources, camps, workshops and build infrastructures to enhance our community and environment.

 

 

 

 

The experience of nature is better than any souvenir you can buy while on your vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are opportunities for adults to continue their lifetime of learning and exploration at Tremont Institute by taking advantage of their programs, camps and workshops. For example, try the Community Science Program if you want to research and explore wildlife habitats, plant species, learn about phenology (natures time clock), and so much more!
