South Carolina Naturalist, Rudy Mancke, to visit the Center for Birds of Prey

 

On Saturday May 9, 2009, The Center for the Birds of Prey will host South Carolina’s leading naturalist, Rudy Mancke.  Mancke will lead walking tours through the Center’s 152 acres. 

 

Mancke is best known as the host of Nature Notes on public radio and for NatureScene, a nationally syndicated TV show on which he appeared for 23 years.  Before his television career, Mancke was natural history curator at the South Carolina State Museum and, before that, a high school biology and geology teacher. He received honorary doctorate degrees from the College of Charleston, Converse College, Coker College, Presbyterian College, Winthrop University, and Wofford College.

 

The tours are open to the public and will begin at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.  Guests are welcome to stay for a Birds of Prey flight demonstration scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.  The cost will be $30 member and $45 for non-members.  Space is limited.  To register call Laura Buchta at (843) 971-7474. 

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Center for Birds of Prey/Avian Conservation Center.
