Ticket sales close on June 18th!

Join the South Carolina Wildlife Federation at Topsoil Restaurant in Travelers Rest near Greenville from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm for a six-course, wine-paired conservation dinner featuring dishes inspired by imperiled bird species created by Executive Chef Adam Cooke.

This year’s featured species include the cerulean warbler, American redstart, golden-crowned kinglet, belted kingfisher, Canada warbler, and of course, the roseate spoonbill, whose conservation story inspired this dinner series. All of these species are depicted in Heather Deacon’s beautiful image above. Heather’s piece titled, Palmetto Feathers, is the winning image of the 2025 Forks, Knives, & Spoonbills art contest!  As each course is served during the dinner, SCWF Industry Habitat Manager Jay Keck will share information about each species and the conservation efforts needed to help them thrive.

This convivial evening will not disappoint! Purchase your tickets early to ensure that you can join us for this deliciously informative conservation dinner. All funds raised will benefit conservation and education programs at SCWF.
