For the Spring of 2022 Waccamaw Audubon will be holding its monthly meetings at Inlet Square Mall, Murrells Inlet on the FIRST Thursday of each month. Our meeting will begin at 6 PM with refreshments and the program will begin at 6:30 PM.
Come learn about what's happening at The Center for Birds of Prey
Our May meeting will be presented by Stephen Schabel , Vice President and Director of The Center for Birds of Prey & Education
A native of South Carolina, Stephen joined the Center in 2003 after completing his M.S. degree in Environmental Policy at the College of Charleston. Prior to graduate school, he spent several years exploring various teaching opportunities outside the traditional classroom, as well as a career as an accomplished mandolin player and vocalist for a variety of groups in the Charleston area. Stephen’s background in education and environmental policy along with his lifelong passion for the outdoors -especially birds – offers a unique and relevant foundation for his role as Director of Education.
Stephen oversees the care, husbandry, and training of the Center’s educational resident bird collection as well as the design and implementation of conservation education programs offered by the Center throughout South Carolina and beyond. Stephen particularly enjoys the aspects of “lure flying” falcons and conversing one on one with visitors about issues related to the conservation of birds and other wildlife.
