Friends of the Reedy River will begin its four-part “By-the-Banks” summer speaker series on May 12 at Southernside Brewing starting at 6 p.m.
The series of talks about the natural world are designed to be engaging, collegial and informative in what FoRR describes as “science made social, education made entertaining.”
The inaugural session, “The Birds and the Bees & Native Trees,” will feature Rick Huffman of the South Carolina Native Plant Society and John Quinn, Henry Keith and Ellen Hard Townes Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies director at Furman University. Their talk will address the profound and important connections between native plants, birds, pollinators and healthy river ecosystems and how urban landscapes can become vibrant spaces for people and wildlife.
Admission is free and no RSVP is required. For more information about this or other events, visit friendsofthereedyriver.org.
