STORKS AND CORKS “Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 7! The annual Storks & Corks event at Silver Bluff Audubon will take place from 6-9 pm., with this year’s event celebrating the 25th season of Audubon’s efforts toward the recovery of the endangered Wood Stork population. This fundraiser for Silver Bluff offers close-up looks at the Wood Storks and other wading birds, followed by heavy hors d’oeuvres and a variety of wines to sample. A silent auction featuring exquisite photography and art work rounds out the evening of fun. You must pre-register (space is limited) by calling the Audubon South Carolina state office at 843-462-2150. The price for Storks & Corks is $35, all of which benefits the stork program at Silver Bluff.”

GULF COAST OIL DISASTER Millions of birds are nesting and breeding in the path of what may well become America's worst environmental catastrophe. Oil continues to stream uncontrolled into the Gulf of Mexico from the site of a destroyed drilling platform. The deadly and growing slick has already reached sensitive coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Globally significant Important Bird Areas - essential to survival of already-imperiled species - are at risk from Louisiana to Florida's Gulf Coast. The danger is real for all kinds of birds. VOLUNTEER: Audubon is working with many other public and private conservation organizations to recruit and coordinate volunteers and connect them with oiled-wildlife response leaders to help in the recovery effort, in the event that the oil spill reaches the gulf coast marshes, beaches, barrier islands and other ecologically sensitive areas. Hands-on work to protect and save birds and other wildlife will be a complex and potentially dangerous process, and first and foremost it is important that only trained volunteers participate on the front lines. Untrained volunteers can pose a risk not only to themselves, but to the birds and wildlife they are trying to save. They can use volunteers with many different skill levels, so please fill out a volunteer registration form if you are interested and can travel to the affected areas. DONATE: Audubon is soliciting donations to aid in their attempt to rescue wildlife affected by the oil spill. To obtain a volunteer registration form and/or donate, Click Here
