The nocturnal lives of owls subject of PAC program

The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and the Landrum Library invite the public to attend a free program called “Owls – Masters of the Night,” presented by naturalist and educator, Carlton Burke. The program will be held at the Landrum Library, 111 East Asbury Drive, on Thursday, June 8 at 2 p.m. as part of the library’s summer reading program for children. 

Owls are mysterious birds of prey which are seldom seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle and secretive habits. This program will introduce the fascinating lives of these unusual birds and their unique adaptations for life in their nighttime world. The program will feature live owls as guests and will be a great program to bring your children to.

This program is made possible by a Free Community Events grant from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF).

For more information, contact the Pacolet Area Conservancy at 828-859-5060 or e-mail landprotection@pacolet.org, or contact the Landrum Library, 864-457-2218. 

The next scheduled program at the Landrum Library will take place on July 18 at 6 p.m. when naturalist Tim Lee will present “Salamanders of the Carolinas” at Family Fun Night.
