Mountain Wildlife Days July 19 & 20 2013

Posted by RiseNC on April 20, 2013

The 10th annual Mountain Wildlife Days are scheduled for July 19 and 20 at the Sapphire Valley Resort.  I am very pleased to announce, Bill Lea will be featured on Friday evening July 19 in what I feel will be a unique presentation.  You can go to the attachment, "An Evening With Bill Lea and His Inspiring Photography" for full details.  Bill, as many of you know, is a world class nature photographer, dedicated wildlife advocate and black bear expert. The day program on Friday will provide a full slate of activities including a bird walk, hikes, a hike in bear habitat at Gorges State Park and a wildlife program for children.

On Saturday July 20, the entire day will be devoted to developing awareness and appreciation of wildlife. Programs will include emphasis on black bears,wolves,reptiles, amphibians, birds  and other mammals. A special presentation will feature Pete Kipp and his peregrine falcons. In addition, I am currently negotiating with the North Georgia Zoo who provided two close-up wildlife programs at last year's MWD.
The Western North Carolina wildlife Outreach Initiative continues to be an valued opportunity to provide Mountain Wildlife Days presentations to schools and organizations throughout the area. During the  2012-13 school year, it is anticipated over 2100 students and adults will participate in events designed to develop  awareness and appreciation of wildlife. These exciting and education presentations are made possible by MWW in cooperation with schools and other organizations. These have been held at Blue Ridge School (Cashiers), Cashiers Community Center (Summit School), Brevard Elementary,Sapphire Valley Resort,  Isaac Dickson School and Jones Elementary in Asheville. Upcoming is a Super Saturday event on April 6 at Sand Hill-Venable School in Enka  featuring Rob Gudger and his wolves along with Wildlife Warrior Steve O'Neil , his reptiles, small mammals and amphibians
I am very grateful to those individuals, organizations and businesses who have contributed to the success of Mountain Wildlife Days and WNC Wildlife Outreach.  It is hoped,  we can cooperatively work together to help preserve the wildlife we value and would like to pass on to future generations.

RiseNC.org Statements

Posted by RiseNC on February 1, 2013

Please note that on several websites it says that I am against hunting.  I am not a hunter but by no means am I against Hunters.  I do understand that first of all most hunters are ethical and believe in fair chase in a natural environment. I have done enough research about NCWRC and the management of our wildlife in NC to know that it is the hunters that are paying for so very much to protect our wildlife.  Thank you NC’s HUNTERS.

I, nor any person/volunteers with RiseNC.org, can promote fund-raising for any cause at this time as RiseNC.org is not an established non-profit organization.  RiseNC is a group of volunteers who are trying to make changes for the better management of wildlife in NC.  I fear at this time our campaign may be hindered if we attach ourselves with any group, individual, or organization collecting monies.
