Alumni Reunion and 2024 Annual Auction

On November 9th, 2024, the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge will be having two big events: 


The Alumni Reunion is for all students and volunteers, past and present, who have been a part of Frances Carter's raptor programs (the Casey County Wildlife Club, the Southwestern Raptor Club, the Liberty Nature Center, and the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge).  This will take place on the current campus at 943 Bridge Hollow Rd, Somerset, KY 42503, from 11am-2pm.


That evening beginning at 5pm, all are invited to our Annual Auction at the Center for Rural Development.  Click the link below for more info!
