Brian
Bockhahn, a very active Falls Lake State
Park Ranger, will hold his sixth 24-hour
Wildathon on May 4-5 to raise money for
the New Hope Audubon Society.
The Wildathon is a count of
birds, animals, insects, fish and
wildflowers at Falls Lake from 6 a.m.
Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday. “Being an
insomniac pays off sometimes,” Bockhahn
said.
He raises the money through
pledges for each group counted. For
instance, if you want to donate a dollar
for every reptile he counts and he finds
10 of them, the donation will be $10. He
will also accept flat dollar amounts.
The New Hope Audubon Society
uses the money raised go to the Mason
Farm Biological Reserve and the North
Carolina Coastal Islands Sanctuary. You
can read about both and find a pledge
form at

You can also reach Bockhahn at
