SUMMARY:Green Drinks Morehead City
DESCRIPTION:Green Drinks is a casual monthly gathering for people who care about our coast. Whether you enjoy boating\, beach days\, or simply want to keep our waters clean and our communities strong\, this is a relaxed space to connect with others\, hear from local voices\, and stay up to date on important coastal topics. Each month\, we’ll highlight a different issue—like salt marsh restoration\, oysters\, or local happenings that impact the coast—and talk about how we can work together to protect the places we all enjoy. Grab a drink from the bar and join the conversation—these events are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho: Anyone who loves our coast! \n\n\n\nWhat: A relaxed\, come-as-you-are meetup featuring a new coastal topic each month \n\n\n\nWhere: Rooftop Bar at Jack’s on the Waterfront – 513 Evans St\, Morehead City\, NC 28557 \n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, Sep. 23rd \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nSeptember’s Speaker \n\n\n\nOuter Banks Wildlife Shelter \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter\, or OWLS\, is a nonprofit wildlife hospital and education center serving eastern North Carolina. Started in 1988 by Stephanie Goetzinger as a small volunteer operation run out of her home\, it has grown into the region’s primary destination for injured\, sick\, and orphaned native wildlife —shorebirds\, raptors\, songbirds\, opossums\, squirrels and fawns — with a clinic open seven days a week. Their mission is to rehabilitate and release wildlife while educating the community about the importance of conservation\, work shaped by the same coastal pressures the Federation tracks: habitat loss\, pollution\, climate change\, and human-wildlife conflict.  \n\n\n\nJoin us to hear why intakes climb after storms and as coastal construction eats into habitat\, how a shelter that runs on donations and volunteers keeps its doors open year-round\, and what you can do to help — from what to do when you find an injured animal to the small changes around your own property that keep wildlife out of the clinic in the first place. \n\n\n\nLocation:
