Howell, MI, May 2, 2013 -By popular demand, Howell Conference & Nature Center has revived its Scramble for Wildlife Golf Outing to take place on Friday, May 31, 2013 at Chemung Hills Golf Course and Banquet Center. Proceeds of the fundraiser will support wildlife rehabilitation and education at the Nature Center.
Funds raised from the golf outing help support rehabilitation cases like that of Allegro, the endangered Peregrine Falcon that has been recovering from injuries sustained in early April. Allegro is among only a handful of Peregrine Falcons in Michigan, a species that is listed as highly endangered in this state. Cost of his care includes food, medical treatments, and enclosures that suits the progression of his recovery. The wing wrap protecting Allegro's injury has been removed, and he has been transferred to an outdoor flight enclosure for pre-release conditioning. The Nature Center's rehabilitation professionals are working in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to achieve the best possible outcome for this majestic bird.
We're counting on local duffers to rally in support of this cause and have enjoy a uniquely "Nature Center" day, including
