Naturalist Todd Elliott will speak April 12 on the science, natural history, folklore, ecology, and the biodiversity of the Carolinas.

The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and the Landrum Library invite the public to attend a free presentation on “Natural History and Ecology of the Carolinas” presented by naturalist, Todd Elliott. The program will be held at the Landrum Library, 111 East Asbury Drive Landrum, S.C., on Tuesday, April 12 at 6 p.m.

 

Todd Elliott’s talk will encompass science, natural history, folklore, ecology, and the biodiversity of the Carolinas. He will discuss the role humans have played in shaping the natural world and the interconnections and co-dependence of the world around us.

 

Todd Elliott is a native to Rutherford County, N.C. He has focused on studying global biodiversity and interrelationships in nature. These studies have taken him to remote corners of the world to explore tropical rainforests, deserts, temperate forests, beaches, and high mountains on six continents. Much of the research from these expeditions has been or is being published including the description of organisms new to science.

 

Todd is an award winning nature photographer and his lectures are filled with photographs from his adventures both here in the Carolinas and abroad. This program is made possible thanks to a 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. Keep an eye on the PAC website, www.pacolet.org, for information on upcoming PAC/Landrum Library programs at the Landrum Library.

 

The next scheduled program will take place on June 12 when Emily Walker of Chimney Rock State Park will present “Animals of Appalachia” at Family Fun Night at 6 p.m.
