A free open house at the Facility for Animal Care and Treatment (FACT) on the CSUB campus at the Environmental Studies Area (ESA) will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2013. FACT is a wildlife rescue/conservation education project founded in 1975 by Ted Murphy, CSUB emeritus professor of biology. FACT students and volunteers care for hundreds of injured or orphaned birds of prey, conduct tours of the facility and offer classroom programs for thousands of Kern County school children each year.During the open house, guided tours of FACT will feature talks and demonstrations with live birds of prey, including hawks, owls and a golden eagle. Members of CSUB's 60+ Club will be on hand to sell nature gifts, T-shirts, note cards, coloring books, zoobooks, and other items. To get to FACT, enter campus through the south entrance off Camino Media Boulevard (Roadrunner Drive). Turn right into Parking Lot I and, at the softball field backdrop, follow the dirt road over the bike path to the parking area.For more information about CSU Bakersfield please visit www.csub.edu or call (661) 654-3167.
