How do we
Educate The Public?
Schools
We visit several schools from Pre-K to law schools in the area throughout the school year, including participation in the Great American Teach-In. By visiting these schools with our avian ambassadors, we can foster relationships between the next generation and our wildlife, often initiating a lifelong love for these creatures and the natural environments in which they live. Students also learn about what a non-profit is, why they can be important in our society, and how they can make a direct impact. If you want us to visit your school, please click here for more information!
Communities
We visit many community centers, including libraries, retired persons clubs, condominium association clubs, summer camps, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop meetings, and many more! If you want to learn more about these opportunities, please click here for more information!
Field Trips
We provide on-site field trips for schools, clubs, groups, and interested public members. We love having people visit us, and our birds do too! When you are at the sanctuary, you’ll see all of our ambassadors on display, not just those who can travel to off-campus events. For more information, click on our Book Now tab!
