Jack Hanna
The Avian Conservation Center / The Center for Birds of Prey is excited to announce that internationally known wildlife conservationist Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is the special guest at two events on Oct. 29 to benefit the organization.
From a family-friendly event in the morning, to an evening gala under the stars, these are events that you won’t want to miss.
“I’m excited to be returning to The Center for Birds of Prey for two special events,” Jack Hanna said. “The facility is among the best in the country for rehabilitation of injured raptors as well as its ongoing education and conservation initiatives.”
The Avian Conservation Center and its principal operating division, The Center for Birds of Prey, are dedicated to the study and welfare of birds and their habitats and to engaging the public in important environmental issues that affect birds and humans alike.
These events will raise public awareness about the importance of raptors in our ecosystem, both in the Lowcountry and around the world.
