First Saturday Seminar – Keni Rienks
October 5, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
On the first Saturday of each month, we host a FREE educational seminar on a Cape Fear River related topic. Subjects range from environmental sustainability to the river’s role in the Civil War; from the history of Wilmington’s waterfront to our local ecology and neighbors. We provide a scrumptious pancake breakfast and coffee for free starting at 8am and the seminar starts at 9am. Come and meet other river enthusiasts, learn something new, and enjoy a great breakfast.
