We love presenting to garden clubs, nature clubs, church organizations and conservation groups with programs generally geared towards adults and teens via our lecture/power point presentations. A program and hands-on demonstrations can usually fill a good hour and a half and sometimes more if there is a particularly interested audience. Tagging and releasing of Monarch Butterflies can be included on nice days dependent on the cooperation of the butterflies. Wildlife Ambassador Willow, an Eastern Screech Owl, attends many of our events.
A more casual family-oriented day involves a "festival" type layout where we set up displays over several hours and people stop by for show and tell. That program is more suitable for community Earth Day/Apple Fest type events.
What we bring with us is ALWAYS at Mother Nature's whim! Honeybees and butterflies don't always cooperate but we provide ample education regardless!
Below are samples of current programs. We can tailor presentations to your needs.
