Outreach Programming
Our nature-based programming is designed for all ages. Programs can be scheduled for any length of time, but are generally designed to be 45-60 minutes in length. Programs can be scheduled year-round at Northwoods Wildlife Center, at your school, school forest, lake association meeting, library, etc. See below for a list of program offerings. Educational programs can be created or changed to best fit your organization’s needs.

Unique adaptations help these special birds hunt and survive. Come learn about just a few. Meet one or two of our resident birds up close and personal!

Turtles maybe slow, but they aren’t boring. Learn the ins and outs of turtles and their many adaptations that make them so unique! Hold real turtle shells, and meet a couple of our resident turtles up close and personal!
