Free lecture at Landrum Library this month

 

LANDRUM—Conserving Carolina and the Landrum Library will host a free lecture entitled, “Armadillos in the Carolinas,” presented by naturalist and educator Tim Lee. The program will be held on Tuesday, July 11, at 6 p.m. at the Landrum Library. 

Before the last ice age, armadillos the size of Jeep Wranglers roamed the Americas. Today, although much smaller, only the nine-banded armadillo exists in the Carolinas. Join us as we discover the “little armored one.”

Tim is a native South Carolinian, and he has studied and taught as a naturalist and biologist throughout the southeast for more than 30 years. He is a coordinator and instructor for the South Carolina Master Naturalist Program and is an Educational Leadership Partner for the South Carolina Aquarium. Tim is a member of the National Association of Interpreters and an honorary SC Statewide Master Naturalist and an honorary member of the Upstate Master Naturalist Association.

This lecture is part of Conserving Carolina’s monthly Speaker Series, made possible thanks to the Landrum Library. The next program at the Landrum Library will be held on August 29, when Tim Lee, will present “Bioluminescence: From Fireflies to Fungi.” 

The library is located at 111 East Asbury Dr. in Landrum. For more information, contact Pam Torlina at pam@conservingcarolina.org, or contact the Landrum Library at (864) 457-2218.
