Legends of Conservation Gala
Your Voices in the Wild for 80 Years
Wednesday, May 4th, from noon until 1:30pm at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Columbia, SC

SCWF is celebrating Legends of Conservation on it's 80th Anniversary...and we want you to join us May 4th!
As many of you may know, Conservation Lobby Day in Columbia is on May 3rd. SCWF wants you to continue celebrating South Carolina’s wildlife and habitat protection by helping us honor sixteen "Legends of Conservation" our 80th Anniversary celebratory luncheon on May 4th.
We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to recognize these individuals – who are all over eighty years of age – for their work on behalf of South Carolina’s natural resources.
This one-of-a-kind gala will honor the dedicated champions who, for decades, have gone above and beyond the call of duty in preserving South Carolina’s natural areas. Our land, our water, our air, and those that inhabit it are better off because of the Legends of Conservation we will honor.
SCWF is celebrating its 80th year advocating for wildlife, habitat and the environment, educating citizens in the conservation ethic, and supporting outdoor traditions. The early bird ticket price is $35; after April 20th, tickets will be available for $45 per guest.

A commemorative photobook program will be given to all attendees. A special thanks to photographer Molly Harrell and outdoor writer Pat Robertson for making this possible.
The honorees will be announced soon. If you have an interest in knowing who SCWF is honoring from your area of the state, please feel free to contact us. It will be quite a celebration and day to reflect when they all gather under one roof - we hope you can join us.
