Wild Ones is teaming up with the Kentucky Falconers Association and the Urban Forest Initiative to share with you the Hawks of Ashland's Tree Canopy! Join us as local falconer and accomplished outdoorsman, Eric Patton, introduces attendees to his hawk, Piper, and the art of falconry. Wild Ones will have prepared information about the native tree canopy of Ashland's Central Park, and the hawk population that relies upon our community's trees to survive. Attendees will be encouraged to adopt a tree or plant a tree in their own back yard to help support the wildlife who depend on them! This event is available to the public after admission to the museum; museum members will be able to attend without any associated cost.
