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 United States Forestry Service (1921), Dorman was instrumental in establishing the Kisatchie National Forest (1930). Linda also hopes to promote awareness about the tornado that hit Briarwood last spring. The Briarwood Nature Preserve desperately needs volunteers and donations to help with restoration efforts. Learn about Caroline Dorman’s fascination with Louisiana’s forests and native plants and how you can help restore a part of her legacy.
