It's here! Join us for a meet and mingle at the Nature Center to celebrate Back to Nature, the “Ruffner book” whispered about for years, and now available for purchase.

In vivid prose, author Mark Kelly relates the history of Ruffner Mountain—its missteps and setbacks—a story that, in many ways, mirrors the story of Birmingham. Giving this incredible narrative life are the photos of Bob Farley and together they beautifully illustrate Ruffner Mountain Nature Coalition’s 40 years of existence and the mountain’s journey back to nature.

Mark Kelly will be on hand to sign your copy of the book!

Registration is not required, but please let us know below if you plan to attend.
