Wildlife Education School Program

This unique program is built over 15 years of first-hand experience in caring for over 12,000 orphaned and injured wild animals, ranging from flying squirrels to river otters, and resolving more than 100,000 challenging human/wildlife conflict calls. Our Wildlife Education School Program is designed to:

Foster an appreciation and understanding of the natural environment in today's youth;
Get kids excited about wildlife and nature; and
Provide students with the tools to coexist with nature and to become backyard stewards.

Courses consist of a power point presentation packed with great photos and videos, hands-on materials, a wildlife detective trivia game and a question session. We are currently visiting students in grades from JK to 8 at schools throughout the Ottawa region.

An excellent presentation that brings the issues associated with wildlife in our community into our classroom. The presenter is very gifted in getting this important message across to elementary aged students.
- Grade 5/6 teacher
The students definitely enjoyed the presentation. It was informative and instructive and the hands-on materials kept the kids engaged.
- Grade 7 teacher
The presentation was great, students chose to continue through lunch, which would never happen with one of my lessons.
- Grade 4 teacher
I wish I could have been there. My son absolutely loved your talk!
