Down To Earth

Do you want to have lunch with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and learn the art of falconry?


















Even though it has been practiced for 8,000 years, how can you not conjure up images of latter-day Camelot when hearing about the chance to learn the art of falconry with a Kennedy? No joke. From the eBay listing, here's what the lucky bidder will receive: “You and a guest will spend a weekend afternoon with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., master falconer and president of Waterkeeper Alliance, learning the basics of an 8,000 year-old sport at the hands of a true expert! Afternoon of Falconry will take place in New York State and include lunch. Restrictions: Maximum of 2 people can attend. Time and date to be mutually agreed upon during falconry season, Fall 2014.”

The auction is part of a whole series of charity auctions benefiting the Waterkeeper Alliance, which champions clean water and strong communities. They are the international center of a network of Waterkeeper programs with over 200 local Waterkeeper Programs and growing.

Our very own Spokane Riverkeeper is a proud member of the Waterkeeper Alliance and I'm sure wouldn't mind it as a Christmas gift.
