(00:00:00) The second year of the Witness Stones Project is underway, with students researching enslaved individuals connected to prominent Lancaster figures, including some tied to Franklin & Marshall College. They are preparing to place new Witness Stones honoring these individuals and would like to know if you&rsquo;re interested in speaking with students about their work.&nbsp; (00:22:30) Falconry is an ancient hunting practice dating back around&nbsp;4,000 years in Central Asia, originally used to put food on the table. It remains highly regulated and is practiced worldwide today. Jack Hubley grew up fascinated with wildlife and spent his life educating others and practicing falconry.&nbsp; Jeff Aucker was introduced as a middle‑schooler by a neighbor and became hooked, eventually working his way through the formal falconry ranks. Falconry persists because devoted practitioners serve as stewards of raptors and the natural world, preserving a highly specialized craft that teaches responsibility, conservation, and respect for wildlife. Aucker stresses the need for proper stewardship, realistic expectations, and mentorship to keep falconry healthy and ethical. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/" rel="payment">Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
