The South Carolina Wildlife Federation at The Hollow in Columbia for a five-course, wine-paired conservation dinner featuring dishes inspired by imperiled bird species created by Executive Chef Danté Serra. 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 SCWF’s conservation and education programs.

Event tickets are $120 per person. Sponsorships are also available. Vegan and vegetarian option available on request. Ticket sales close July 3rd.
