The Symposium memorializes the significant civic legacy of Hermon Dunlap and Ellen Thorne Smith, who eventually donated their land and cabin to help form Ryerson Woods. All funds raised from the evening directly benefit Brushwood Center's nature-inspired art, wellness, and educational programs. Our audience spans the region, including veterans, children, families, business people, and others looking to the arts as a pathway for connecting to nature. By supporting the Smith Nature Symposium, you help to make these programs possible.
