From a press release:
Join educator Cat Dillard from The North Carolina Arboretum in a hands-on exploration of birds as well as other wildlife of our area. Participants will meet Ribbert the Toad, learn how to match up mammals with their footprints and play a game designed to show how birds with different beaks can collect different food items.Owners Chris Jaquette & Simon Thompson are excited to have the doors open and to welcome the community. As a thank you, they have some amazing prizes in the raffle including a Free Day Trip for Two Birding with Simon, the best Squirrel proof feeder on the market today – the Eliminator, a free bird feeding deck set up and lots of other feeders, videos and more!
