The Abbot Award is presented each year to an individual who has demonstrated escellenct service to the Southern Lepidopterists’ Society and\/or is recognized for outstanding towards our understanding of the Lepidoptera of the south(east)ern United States.<\/font> <\/p>\n

Leroy Koehn is a charter member of the Southern Lepidopterist’s Society and was instrumental in its formation in 1978. For the last 23 years, Leroy has been a tireless supporter, organizer, and advocate of the Society. He has served in many capacities including the Newsletter editor from 1996 to 2001. It is hoped that the memorable times on his many field trips will be remembered and his jokes will be forgotten. His dedication, enthusiasm, friendship, and generosity are greatly appreciated.

The Fernbank IMAX Shows<\/strong> <\/span> <\/font><\/p>\n

Ocean Oasis<\/strong> (10am, 12 noon, 2 pm, 4 pm)
Experience the unbreakable bonds between a parched land, a rich sea and the plants and animals that thrive within it, as you travel to Baja California in Ocean Oasis. Take a journey of stunning scientific discovery to uncover why a long spine of rock and desert, where plants store limited supplies of water for years, resides near a teeming sea of life that provides an oasis of nourishment and shelter. You’ll discover how the shape of the land and the dryness of the desert make the sea of Baja one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. Swim with the huge schools of mysids as they flow around gorgonia, and follow the jellyfish, jacks and tuna as they flourish beneath a rich sea. <\/p>\n

Journey into Amazing Caves<\/strong> (11am, 1 pm, 3 pm, 5 pm)
Take a journey through the caves within the walls of the Grand Canyon, the glaciers of Greenland and beneath the rainforests of Mexico’s Mayan jungle. Follow scientists as they study how caves are formed and research the microorganisms that live within an unmapped area of the continent’s deepest known cave in this physically, emotionally and intellectually challenging adventure. Explore a mile beneath the earth’s surface with the crew as they rappel down sheer cliff faces; raft underground rivers; and crawl, wriggle and squeeze through tiny passages to reach an unexplored cave chamber <\/font> <\/p>\n
