 Wildlife
and Animal Welfare Presentations
Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation (WRR)
offers programs for community groups and school classes of
all ages. Our presentations focus on the natural history of
native wildlife with the aim of fostering a deeper respect
for animals and their habitats. Out of respect for these animals,
and in keeping with our philosophy that animals are not to
be used for entertainment purposes, we never bring live animals
to any public speaking engagement.
Below are a couple of the prepared presentations
we can bring to your group. Other potential topics are included
in the Advocacy section
of this Web site. If the items below interest you, or you
are looking for something just a little bit different, please
contact Don Elroy, Education & Advocacy Coordinator, at
education@wildlife-rescue.org.
Or you can call him at (830) 336-2725 x304 to discuss your
group's needs. We would be glad to tailor a presentation just
for you.
