Philippe was filming an episode of Riverbanks Roundup premiering on SCETV later this year. Me and the other members of the Riverbanks Kids Commission will be on the program asking questions and working on a river clean-up project with Philippe. I will keep you posted about when the TV show will be on.<br /><div></div>Gator Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03822689805742271647noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202409736881345823.post-31631130917847219062010-03-15T20:58:00.000-07:002010-03-17T18:03:08.295-07:00King Penguins at RiverbanksThis week our Riverbanks Kids' Commission got to meet some King Penguins.

Naturalist <strong>Tom Mancke</strong> came out to help us. He brought lots of great stuff, like a monkey skull, a blood stone, and a beaver tail. He even showed us how to make use of items in nature, like how to make a knife out of a piece of quartz or start a fire with flint and steel. It was the best pack meeting ever.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6F13bGgoMI/AAAAAAAAAOs/7_gf1FYVS8E/s1600-h/TreoPic540.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449766619123327170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6F13bGgoMI/AAAAAAAAAOs/7_gf1FYVS8E/s400/TreoPic540.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6F13gIyUPI/AAAAAAAAAO0/sVKccRf8zvU/s1600-h/TreoPic547.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449766620475052274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6F13gIyUPI/AAAAAAAAAO0/sVKccRf8zvU/s400/TreoPic547.jpg" /></a>Gator Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03822689805742271647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202409736881345823.post-82813681345435604972009-12-24T16:52:00.000-08:002010-03-17T17:22:54.971-07:00Riverbanks Zoo Kids' CommissionThis year I was selected to be on the first ever <strong>Riverbanks Zoo Kids' Commission</strong>. This is a group of 9 kids who help make decisions for the zoo. The commission elected me to be the chairman, which is a real honor. In December we were invited to the opening night of The Lights Before Christmas and were introduced to the board members and sponsors. Here I am with Satch Krantz (the zoo's CEO),some of the other Kids' Commission members, and checking out the light with my sister.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtbLRVlmI/AAAAAAAAAOE/e95PoXw1F68/s1600-h/DSC05652.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449757337744414306" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtbLRVlmI/AAAAAAAAAOE/e95PoXw1F68/s400/DSC05652.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtajmB9PI/AAAAAAAAAN8/xIG0wvTLgBU/s1600-h/DSC05647.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449757327093789938" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtajmB9PI/AAAAAAAAAN8/xIG0wvTLgBU/s400/DSC05647.JPG" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtbsTJOmI/AAAAAAAAAOM/klO50T_EiA0/s1600-h/DSC05655.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449757346610362978" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FtbsTJOmI/AAAAAAAAAOM/klO50T_EiA0/s400/DSC05655.JPG" /></a>Gator Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03822689805742271647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202409736881345823.post-35135762758642637132009-11-30T15:40:00.000-08:002010-03-17T15:52:56.783-07:00A Nature walk with Rudy Mancke<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FbM3qrPrI/AAAAAAAAAM0/a4_J_ZFCfSc/s1600-h/DSC05563.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449737300754513586" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6FbM3qrPrI/AAAAAAAAAM0/a4_J_ZFCfSc/s400/DSC05563.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6Favjf-_7I/AAAAAAAAAMs/nl5qZhGAepg/s1600-h/DSC05554.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449736797124755378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CjbpLACMCMM/S6Favjf-_7I/AAAAAAAAAMs/nl5qZhGAepg/s400/DSC05554.JPG" /></a> In November, I went on a great Nature walk with <strong>Rudy <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mancke</span></strong>, South Carolina <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ETV's</span> famous Naturalist. <a href="http://www.nps.gov/cong/planyourvisit/walks-and-talks.htm"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Congaree</span> National Park</a> sponsors this event as the annual <strong>Harry Hampton Memorial Walk</strong>.
