Public Education

Part of the Wildcat Wildlife Center's mission is "to develop a community of people committed to helping wild animals and preserving the ecosystem of Indiana. We hope to encourage an interest, appreciation, and understanding of wildlife through education programs for groups such as schools, scout troops, civic organizations, and businesses. We also strive to educate about humane, non-lethal means of conflict resolution between humans and animals."

Our educational programs will expand your knowledge of our natural world in a way that is interesting and fun!! Our educational volunteers are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly.

Goals of the Education Program
It is our goal to develop a community of people committed to helping wild animals and preserving the ecosystem of Indiana. We hope to accomplish this goal by encouraging an interest, appreciation and understanding of native Indiana wildlife through educational programs.​
Who We Teach
We will teach to any group interested in learning. We are currently teaching scout groups, public school groups, home school groups, church groups, vacation bible school groups, and the Purdue student clubs. Also, we are often present at public functions at a booth or table, for example at the Mosey Down Main Street Events in Lafayette, IN.
What we Teach
​We have programs on native mammals, native birds, and conflict resolution, both on-site at the center and at your location.  Contact us for pricing and more information. 765-491-2351
