SWC exhibited at Raleigh’s annual Earth Day/Arbor Day festival on April 19th, an event co-sponsored by our good friends at We Plant it Forward. It was quite a large event at Dix Park featuring sustainability concepts and practices, mixed in with a fun array of Native American cultural demonstrations, a drum circle, and a high-spirited Paperhand Puppet Intervention parade. Visitors to our booth learned about native mammals, animal sounds, and habitats, with kids -oriented activities. We hope some of our visitors will give us a try and join the chapter (and don’t forget Kids in Nature Day May 4th!).
At this event, our South Wake Conservationists chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation was especially honored to be awarded the City of Raleigh’s 2024 Environmental Award for Climate Action – Education. This award was presented on stage by Dr. Benjamin Bobay, Chair of the Raleigh Environmental Advisory Board. Accepting the award on behalf of the entire chapter were Monty Morée, President, John Kinsella, Vice President, and Jeff Allen, Community Engagement Chair.
