The Department of Biological Sciences and Arts & Issues will celebrate Darwin Day by presenting Dr. J. Drew Lanham.

He is a birder, naturalist, and hunter-conservationist who has published essays and poetry in publications including Orion, Audubon, Flycatcher and Wilderness, and in several anthologies, including The Colors of Nature, State of the Heart, Bartram’s Living Legacy and Carolina Writers at Home. An Alumni Distinguished Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Master Teacher at Clemson University, Lanham and his family live in the upstate of South Carolina, a soaring hawk’s downhill glide from the southern Appalachian escarpment that the Cherokee once called the Blue Wall.
