Program Description:

Stephen Schabel from The Avian Conservation Center/The Center for Birds of Prey, once again brings the Center’s amazing raptors to the Lake House. This Year’s program will focus on owls of the world, their remarkable adaptations and the issues we see facing owls here in SC. Stephan will bring a representative selection of owls (like he has traditionally done with his Live Birds of Prey program) including some that will fly in the room. 

Speaker Bio:

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.
