If you've ever wanted to go behind the scenes at The Connecticut Audubon Society and meet our resident animals face to face, this program may be for you. The 8-week class provides 6th and 7th graders with the opportunity to join staff in caring for and studying the resident non-releasable animals who call the Center at Fairfield their home.
This program provides an overview of our live animal collection including reptiles, amphibians, birds and invertebrates. From glamorous to gross, you will learn about animal husbandry care, prepare and serve individualized food, and ensure all animals have a clean and healthy living environment. At the end of the course each participant will receive a certificate of completion.
Program fee for the 8-week series: $84/person for CAS members; $112/person for nonmembers (price includes one free class). All proceeds support Connecticut Audubon Society environmental education programs. For more information visit www.ctaudubon.org/center-at-fairfield. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Call 203-259-6305, ext. 109 to reserve your spot.
