Feathered Friends by Candace Thibeault is the winning image of the Forks, Knives, & Spoonbills Art Contest. Her piece depicts the 2024 featured species.

Join the South Carolina Wildlife Federation at Between the Antlers in Georgetown for a five-course, wine-paired conservation dinner featuring dishes inspired by imperiled bird species created by Executive Chef Chelsea Cribb and Chef Scott Dwyer.

This year’s featured species include the Eastern meadowlark, the little blue heron, the Eastern screech-owl, the brown-headed nuthatch, the red-winged blackbird, and of course, the roseate spoonbill, whose conservation story inspired this dinner series. As each course is served, SCWF Industry Habitat Manager Jay Keck will share information about each species and the conservation efforts needed to help them thrive.

This convivial evening will not disappoint! Purchase your tickets early to ensure you can join us for this deliciously informative conservation dinner. All funds raised will benefit conservation and education programs of SCWF.
