| A Very Warm Nemours Welcome Committee! |
The 2023 Friends of Nemours gathering on October 28 was held in Chamber of Commerce weather conditions, and was eagerly anticipated. The board of the Nemours Wildlife Foundation welcomes its donors, supporters and friends to lunch while providing and educational program about what research is going on in their science lab. Researchers provide stations with hands-on learning and Nemours staffers also lead wagon tours of the property. This Northern Beaufort County property along the Combahee River is a catalyst in the ACE Basin, and the conservation candle is burning brightly because of their sustained efforts.

Board Chair Mike McShane convened the meeting by calling on Coy Johnson with DU to bless the proceedings. Dignitaries from Charleston, Colleton and Beaufort counties were recognized and Jimmy Fitts catering provided the lunch. One of the property highlights we were provided with was the Spring Day when Beau Bauer sighted 105 different species of birds on their property - a new record. "The weather was just right for migrating shorebirds, which really helped bolster our number of species," said Bauer. Birds sighted during the luncheon included roseate spoonbill, bald eagle, kingfisher and blue-winged teal.
