CONSERVING OUR EAST TENNESSEE BALD EAGLES AND BIRDS OF PREY VIRTUAL PROGRAM PRESENTED ON THURSDAY, MAY 13 AT 7:00 P.M. BY THE UT ARBORETUM SOCIETY
Dr. Robyn Miller of the American Eagle Foundation leads the digital tour

The UT Arboretum Society invites you to join the American Eagle Foundation for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of their resident raptors, including the charismatic bald eagle ambassadors in a virtual presentation on Thursday, May 13th. On this digital tour, Dr. Robyn Miller will guide participants in learning about eagles and other raptors’ roles within our ecosystem, how AEF cares for them, and how we can help protect them. The nonprofit American Eagle Foundation is headquartered in East Tennessee in Pigeon Forge.

The American Eagle Foundation has a longstanding history in the conservation of bald eagles and other birds of prey. Over the course of more than 30 years, the organization has released 180 bald eagles back into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.

“The conservation efforts of citizens, lawmakers and organizations like us have culminated in the bald eagle’s triumphant comeback from the brink of extinction. Recent studies have found that the population has quadrupled since the last count,” explains Dr. Miller.

While completing her PhD in literature at Auburn University, Dr. Miller started volunteering at a local raptor facility in 2012. She decided to pursue raptor education as a full-time career upon graduating and joined American Eagle Foundation’s team in 2018. As an educator and falconer, she hopes to share her partnership with raptors as a force for good, inspiring a passion for avian conservation in the hearts of generations to come.

This is a virtual Zoom presentation and registration for this free online event is required. To register go to: www.utarboretumsociety.org and click on the event. The program will be recorded. Please contact Michelle Campanis at mcampani@utk.edu with any questions or registration issues.

Our walking tours concentrate on architecture that's still visible. Next week, we’ll be using photographs and other images to show the most impressive buildings that have vanished: what we know about them, and what happened to them. We’ll show the seven best, in our opinion, as well as several runners up, as time allows. Among those we’ll definitely talk about are the Vendome, Staub’s Opera House (aka the Lyric), the Market House, and Girls’ High School. Some of them vanished during the lifetimes of people still living, and we’d value any personal memories of them, for the record.
