Date: March 19, 2024

Time: 6:00 p.m.

Location: Landrum Library

Speaker: Fred Weisbecker

Join us to learn about skull identification and the unique adaptations that different animals have evolved over time. This program will provide hands on learning with many different skulls. Fred will teach us how to carefully gather and preserve these natural artifacts and to use skulls found on a trail or in the woods as a clue to the life and likely causes of death of the creature whose skull we find. This is a hands on and interactive program so bring the kids!  This is sure to be fun for the whole family!

Fred grew up in the greater New York City area.  He developed his love of the natural world visiting New York state parks in the Catskill Mountains. After attending naval military high school he enrolled in wildlife management at NC State University.  Upon graduation he went to work for the NC Wildlife Resources Commission spending the next thirty years as a state game warden.

The Landrum Library Speaker Series programs are made possible thanks to our partnership with the Spartanburg County Public Libraries.
