Wild Wonders: Outreach Programs
 |
Invite a Carolina Wildlife Care educator to your school, library or organization for an up close look at the natural world. Our Wild Wonders outreach programs address the importance of conservation, encourage respect towards wildlife and bring attention to how our everyday decisions impact the environment and all that inhabits it.
Programs are designed to make the most of the Wild Wonders experience using wild animal encounters with CWC’s live wildlife ambassadors, including snakes, turtles, raptors, songbirds, opossums or other wild animals. Programs may further incorporate stories, games, artifacts and other interactive experiences designed to enlighten and excite participants to the wonders of the natural world.
