Science-based Enrichment for Public & Private Schools - where the animals visit you!

Our Wildlife Encounters Outreach Programs:

~ Improving environmental literacy.
~ Connecting students to the outside world.
~ Giving wildlife a voice in the effort to protect global biodiversity & ecosystems!


"If it is out of sight - it is out of mind."

"Live animals are one of the few things we have found that will truly pull their attention from social media & engage students on an emotional level to learn."

Students in the BoSTEM Summer Program at MIT in Cambridge hear for the first time how the American Alligator was facing extinction 50 years ago – but through education, regulation and captive breeding programs their population is restored!   One of America’s greatest conservation success stories!

This rate will be adjusted up or down as appropriate in the future.

Animal & Venue Requirements and Restrictions
  1. WILDLIFE: For regulatory or safety reasons, these animals are generally “hands-off” for the public.  This statement by it’s nature is vague because (1) laws vary by state and (2) educators may have some discretion in certain circumstances.
  2. INTERACTIVE: Our “farm life”, “pet life” and friendlier wild species of Ambassador Animals.  Most of these animals are rescues that were injured, abandoned or displaced… and they all have their own personal stories!   At our discretion – all of these animals may be hands-on.
  3. VENUE RESTRICTIONS :  (details coming soon)
