With the continued success of its relaunch early last year, look forward to Life-long Learning returning seasonally in a daytime format.
As the rules for identification of species became more defined and scientific methods more advanced, our natural history has become easier to study, understand, and appreciate. We owe this process of discovery to a finite group of people personally vested in their environments across centuries. Join Layton Register for a deeper look at the influence of Mark Catesby, Hans Sloane, Carl Linnaeus, John Bartram, William Bartram, Alexander Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, George Cuvier, John Bachman, John James Audubon, and Charles Darwin.

About Layton Register:
Layton Register was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He grew up on a farm outside of town that his mother and father operated for breeding and raising Thoroughbred racehorses. After graduating from Washington and Lee University, Register spent most of his working career involved with Thoroughbred breeding and racing and in property management as well as coaching tennis. Register moved from Kentucky to Charleston five years ago and has been working as a certified tour guide for Walk and Talk Charleston, as well as a volunteer for the Charleston Parks Conservancy and the Charleston Library Society. As an avid birdwatcher, his dedicated interest in the world of birds inevitably led Register to the life and work of John James Audubon, inspiring an imminent book titled Birdwatching (and Counting Birds) With John James Audubon: Where Have All the Birds Gone?
