Landrum Library Speaker Series – What Lies Beneath – Animal Skulls in Our Region and How to Identify Them
July 11, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Date: July 11, 2023
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Location: Landrum Library
Speaker: Fred Weisbecker, retired NC Wildlife Resources Commission Game Warden
This is part of the Landrum Library’s Summer Reading Program for Kids, ages 6-12 years old! During this program, Fred will discuss skull identification and provide hands on learning with many different skulls. He 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.
