Protecting Georgia's One Hundred Mile Coast
Join CCA Skidaway on Monday, September 14th at 7 pm at St. Peter's Episcopal Church to meet Eric Swanson, Advocacy Education Coordinator for One Hundred Miles. He will give us an insight on the exploration of the work being done to fulfill their mission of protecting Georgia’s one hundred mile coast forever. Hear from Eric about OHM’s approach to conservation through their work that combine advocacy, education and community engagement.
Eric is a science communicator and naturalist who has focused on teaching in the outdoors for more than 15 years across the coast, including at Oatland Island Wildlife Center in Savannah. He relishes opportunities to learn with people of all ages and backgrounds, with a primary goal of working to make our natural world more accessible so we can advocate for and protect it.
Eric enjoys birding, native plants, and finding out what’s under rocks and logs. He is a father to two young girls, a husband, and sometimes a falconer. If you see Eric out and about, share with him your latest moment of outdoor joy—he will definitely be excited with you.
Raffle prize for the evening is a $100 gift certificate to Erica Davis Lowcountry located on Victory Dive in Thunderbolt.
