BACK TO THE WILD EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS FOR 2013
Re-check this list often, as new programs will be added weekly.

THESE ARE LIVE WILDLIFE PROGRAMS WITH HAWKS, OWLS, BALD EAGLES, BOBCATS, FOX, FLYING SQUIRRELS, TURTLES, SNAKES, SALAMANDERS AND MORE.
(The bobcats and fox are not taken off-site, but are on exhibit at the center.)

Several of our off-site programs are open to the public. The public is always welcome to join the programs given on-site here at the center, or you may call ahead to schedule your own program or tour. We are open 7 days a week from 10:00 a.m. until dark. Watch this schedule for additional presentations and changes.
