Event Date: April 23, 2025

Time: 6:00 pm

Location: The Willcox, 100 Colleton Avenue SW, Aiken

Join the South Carolina Wildlife Federation at The Willcox in Aiken for a five-course, wine-paired conservation dinner featuring dishes inspired by imperiled bird species created by Executive Chef Philip Friesen.

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 below. As each course is served, SCWF Industry Habitat Manager Jay Keck will share information about each species and the conservation efforts needed to help them thrive.

The winning image of the 2025 Forks, Knives, & Spoonbills art contest is Palmetto Feathers by Heather Deacon.

This convivial evening will not disapoint! 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.
