TreeHouse Wildlife Center
Education
For any wildlife rehabilitation program to be truly successful it must be partnered with an interactive program of public education. Treehouse believes that all members of our native wildlife communities have important functions and specific roles in the environment. Raising public awareness and educating our human communities about the value of wildlife, the basic needs of wildlife, and man's impact on wildlife is the only way to really help our wildlife populations.
Tours
Tours of Treehouse are available by appointment only for groups of 12 or more, spring through fall. Groups touring the center will have the opportunity to observe former animal patients who are permanent residents as part of our education program. Interpretive naturalists explain the natural history of each animal on the tour and describe the role that each one has at Treehouse.
Outreach Programs
Outreach programs are another part of our commitment to education. Programs are specifically designed for school assemblies, classrooms, senior citizen centers, service organizations and clubs for all age groups. The outreach programs utilize animals in our permanent resident program (mostly raptors) combined with discussion of the natural histories of native species. A slide presentation with further information about our facility, our mission, and our patients completes the program.
