SUMMARY:Walnut Creek Preserve Speaker Series: Talking Turkey!
DESCRIPTION:Photo by NC Park Ranger Staff \nDate: June 20\, 2026 \nTime: 10:30 a.m. \nLocation: Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve \nSpeaker: Eric Shelton\, Lead Educator and Ranger at Chimney Rock State Park \nDid you know that Wild Turkeys were once in the running to be our National Bird? They were also on the brink of extinction\, but now their population has bounced back. Come join a NC State Park Ranger to share storybooks about these fascinating animals and their unique adaptations. This will be a great program for the whole family\, so BRING THE KIDS! \nEric is a native of Rutherford County and has been with NC State Parks at Chimney Rock for 2½ years. Prior to his career as a Ranger\, he was a police officer at the Forest City Police Department\, and he was the Chief of Police for the Town of Spindale. Eric has a degree from Western Piedmont Community College and Lees McRae College in Criminal Justice\, and he’s completed his master’s degree in public administration through Appalachian State University. \nAlthough his background is mostly law enforcement related\, he has always enjoyed anything outdoors. Since working with Chimney Rock\, he has enjoyed being a part of interpretive education and programs. \nRSVP is requested below\, but not necessary to attend the event! Please join us! \n \nThe Walnut Creek Preserve Speaker Series programs are made possible thanks to our partnership with the Preserve. \n*Walnut Creek Preserve is private property and guests are only allowed on the property by invitation (a planned event or scheduled group).  Thank you. \nContact Pam Torlina\, pam@conservingcarolina.org\, with questions or for more information.
