Wildlife Education Programs

Education group

Would you like Greenwood to visit your class, scout troop, club, or other organization? Greenwood would love to talk to your organization about what we do, who we treat, and how you can help! From preschoolers to senior citizens, we can provide an age-appropriate program for your organization.

Program Description

Our presentations are filled with photos and stories of amazing animals that will entertain audiences of all ages. All programs will introduce the audience to the field of wildlife rehabilitation, and to the work that Greenwood does. More specific topics can be found on the appropriate program request form, below. We can provide programs for any age group, and can tailor the program to match the audience.

Greenwood does not bring live animals to programs. Every patient at Greenwood is a wild one and must remain wild so that they can return to their natural habitat. We do have animal artifacts such as wings, feet, tail mounts, and snake skins, as well as medical equipment and foreign objects that have been removed from real patients.

All programs must take place at your location. Greenwood cannot give tours of the Center due to liability issues.

Compensation

Although we do not have an official fee for education programs, we do ask for some sort of donation towards the Center for the animals that we treat. Typically, we receive $1-2 per participant or a minimum of $35 for each visit. We will also give education programs in exchange for major service project, such as constructing squirrel nest boxes or organizing a supply drive.
