This highly anticipated event brings a fascinating lineup of feathered, scaled, and furry friends, offering students of all ages (and their parents!) a unique, up-close encounter with incredible wildlife.
Led by expert handlers, this engaging and educational presentation introduces students to a variety of rescued animals while sharing important lessons about conservation, habitats, and the role we all play in protecting wildlife. Whether it’s a majestic bird of prey, a curious reptile, or a cuddly mammal, each animal has a story to tell, making this a truly interactive and memorable experience.
