Description:
The Outdoor Classroom begins the 2012 Summer Nature Series with a special presentation: "Falcons: Sport of Kings!" on Thursday, June 7th. Falconer Shane Brandes will lead the hands on class.

Falconry has long been touted as the sport of kings -- and rightly so! For thousands of years hunters have worked in tandem with falcons and hawks to capture prey. Even avid bird lovers will learn some of the fascinating differences between hawks and falcons in this hands-on opportunity from a devoted falconer.

Park at the Main Entrance to Wildwood Park at Main/Grove or the Sundell/Park Road lot. It is a 5 minute walk to the classroom in the center of the park.
