AGM. Speaker - From Farm to Jungle in Columbia - Jane Scotchmer
Following the u3a AGM our speaker for July will be Jane Scotchmer who after retirement, decided to do some voluntary work in Latin America and then go travelling. A sort of mini gap-year. After a long career in public speaking and with her speaking skiļls she decided to give entertaining talks about a variety of topics including foreign travel. Shortly after retiring she went to the Colombian Andes to work on a mountain farm that followed permaculture principles. On finishing work she explored the mountainous heartland, completing a five day jungle trek to a lost city before heading to the Caribbean coast. She talks about the Colombian landscape, the people and briefly the history and modern day challenges the country faces. Jane is a keen photographer, and the talk is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation that shows Colombia's varied and spectacular scenery.
She will take us along sea shores, around botanical gardens, up to the cloud forest and briefly above the snowline.
