SCB gets 2 behind-the-scenes tours at Callaway Gardens

Published: 09/30/2013

On a beautiful Fall Saturday (September 28), 4 SCB student members traveled to Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia accompanied by advisor Bob Boyd and DBS faculty member and SCB supporter Sharon Roberts. After first stopping for lunch, we saw the Raptor show put on by staff members and then were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Raptor Facility, led by Manager Laura Mirarchi. We then went to the Day Butterfly House, where former AU student and current Manager Michael Buckman gave us a behind-the-scenes tour of that facility. Michael also gave students specimens (deceased) of some of the gorgeous moths or butterflies displayed at the Butterfly House: best souvenirs ever!
