The Hilton Head Island Land Trust announces its annual fundraiser on Saturday, April 22 at the Country Club of Hilton Head Island. Join the Land Trust for an optional nine-hole golf outing followed by a meet and greet, silent auction, dinner and a presentation by speaker Stephen Schabel, director of education with the Avian Conservation Center/The Center for Birds of Prey.

“The Center for Birds of Prey took in our fallen eaglets last year. The center identifies and addresses vital environmental issues by providing medical care to injured birds of prey and shorebirds. We’re looking forward to hearing more about the Avian Conservation Center and hearing all Stephen has to share, especially about the Great Horned Owls currently inhabiting our nest,” said Robin Storey, board member of the Land Trust. Schabel will also be bringing his feathered friends to share how important conservation and the environment is to our local wildlife.

The gala is a fundraiser for the Land Trust whose mission is to preserve and protect critical natural habitat and significant historical parcels of land on Hilton Head Island for the enjoyment of future generations. With conservation easements and land ownership, Hilton Head Island Land Trust has preserved and protected wetlands, green space, and the historic property of Fort Howell for 36 years. Your support helps us continue to monitor and maintain our Trust Properties and promote environmental awareness and local history to our island community, visitors, and tourists. Sponsorships for the gala and golf outing are still available; please contact hhilandtrust@ hhilandtrust.org for more information.
