"Georgia Living"

This lovely Home in Portal, Georgia was the site of the 2006 Georgia National Fair Georgia Living Center Staff Christmas Gala. It was a Potluck affair, but this setting made for a great Christmas Dinner.

After the delightful Dinner we traveled to the Center for Wildlife Education on the campus of Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. Here you see a Center Staff Member giving us a presentation on one of the many Raptor Birds.


After the indoor presentation we visited the "Bird Walkway." Our guide gave us an excellent presentation.

I, Flower Child, consider myself well read and knowledgeable about the resources available in Georgia concerning educational opportunities. I was both impressed and amazed that this "Center for Wildlife Education" is available. It first opened in 1997 and here it is nine years later and I just learned of this wonderful facility located on the Campus of Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia which is a mere 90 miles away.

What a valuable resource for the continuing education of school students and adults alike. The guide assigned to our group was very knowledgeable and presented each bird with pride. As we toured the "Bird Walkway," he continued to discuss each station which featured a different bird. Of course, the Bald Eagle in the nest was the highlight of the entire visit!!!!
