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.
