Of Show title with her depiction of a preening redhead drake duck. Hannah Massar won the first runner-up award for her close up of a merganser. Elizabeth

The Southeastern Wildlife
Exposition is also keeping their preservation credentials in good order in 2013 with
the announcement on January 28 of a new Lowcountry Conservation Initiative.
SEWE is joining forces with other local conservation groups in accepting a
$100K grant check from BP of America that is intended to promote the natural
world. It provides for injured birds of prey to be rehabilitated, and to
promote outdoor education in schools in Charleston County. For more details click here.

There are always loads of
fun times at SEWE, but tickets won’t cost loads of cash. A three-day general
admission ticket for Friday, Saturday and Sunday costs just $40. One-day
admittance on Friday or Saturday from 10 until 6 p.m. costs $20, with Sunday
admission from 10 until 5 p.m. offered at the discount rate of $10. Don’t
forget the kids under the age of 10 can enter free with adult, and the SEWE
tickets include free shuttle bus rides from each event location. So you can
park once and then enjoy the rest of your day. For a full rundown of SEWE events view my feature article in the Colletonian.
