Our Wild Neighbors

We offer a variety of inspiring and informative educational outreach programs featuring our native wildlife as well as a few exotic animals from around the world. Our domestic animals travel with us as well to provide more interactive opportunities with the audience and to show why they can make good pets and why wild animals do not. Our programs focus on conservation and the importance of respecting our wildlife and their natural habitats. Listed below are descriptions of our current outreach offerings.

Meet some amazing birds, mammals, and reptiles that are native to the Western United States. In fact, you might even see them right in your own backyard! This program focuses on the lifestyles and habits of our local critters, the contributions that wild animals make to the urban environment, and the problems they face with humans encroaching on their habitats. We will compare life in nature to the life these critters now live in the city. You will get to meet our local injured and orphaned wildlife ambassadors and our rescued domestic animals. Along with our native ambassadors, meet some of our former illegal pets who tend to not be from the area and learn how they effect our ecosystem. Learn how animals deal with natural disaster, changing environments, and how each and every one of us can help by becoming better stewards of our environment, as well as, responsible pet guardians.

Appropriate for 5th grade and up, great for adults too!
