Town Talk with Dr. Kate McLean-MacKenzie
On February 9 we have a Town Talk at an unusual time: 10:30 am. We’re delighted to host a workshop with Dr. Kate McLean-MacKenzie. She’s an “international smell walk leader and smell mapper.” She will teach us how to take a smell walk, record the smells we encounter, and gather data to put Ojai on the map as one of 40 global towns and cities in her upcoming book Atlas of Scents, Smells, and Stinks, commissioned by Hachette International.
