16th Annual Wild Side

AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING

SCELP's 16th annual Wild Side, sponsored by Biohabitats, will be held in historic Georgetown, South Carolina on Saturday, October 4. Under the majestic oaks of Kaminski House, guests will enjoy a fantastic farm-to-table meal with cocktails, music and waterfront views from the sprawling lawn.

This year's featured speaker will be Dr. Pam Martin, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Coastal Carolina University. She is also the Executive Director and founder of the RISE Center, a United Nations Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development. Dr. Martin will share insights on global environmental policy and the rights of nature. Join us for an unforgettable experience!

ABOUT WILD SIDE

Wild Side was created to honor the memory of SCELP’s founder, Jimmy Chandler. After Jimmy’s passing on August 7, 2010, his friends and colleagues wanted to come together and celebrate his life and vision. The initiative was auspicious and Wild Side has been SCELP’s signature event ever since.
