Education Program Focus

The focus of our education program is to give students or individuals an appreciation for wildlife and an awareness of the hazards that all wildlife face due to factors such as habitat loss, pollution, cat predation, and man made obstacles. Education in the classroom is important. Many children today know very little about the wild animals that live in their area and are unaware of the tremendous impact we all have on the prospects for their continued survival. One of the unique aspects of our education program is that we will tailor a program to your school or group's needs. In addition to the presentation of live education birds, the following topics may be incorporated into the program:

• Natural Resources
• Animal Adaptations
• What the public can do to decrease the
• Number of injuries and deaths to wildlife
• How to help New Mexico's environment
• Threatened and Endangered Species
• Importance and Benefits of Raptors
• Hazards and Human Impact
• Conservation
• Migration
• Food Web

How to schedule a presentation

Each presentation is adapted to accommodate audiences ranging from preschoolers to adults. The program length may be modified to meet the needs of the group. If you are interested in an education presentation for your school, group or business please leave a message at: (505) 344-2500 or contact Madge Rice, Education Coordinator.

Education Fee

In order to defray the costs of housing and food for our education animals, Wildlife Rescue Inc., of New Mexico requires a fee for presenting an education program. Fees vary depending on the length of the program and number of animals presented. We do however recognize the financial constraints of the APS system and will negotiate our terms.

They have participated in 92 events, representing over 232 hours of education to 22,000 people - children and adults. They have earned $9,143 in sales, donations, and raffle tickets to help rehabilitate and care for our orphaned and injured wildlife. GRRR-eat job, everyone!!!!

Our Education Team keeps growing and is now comprised of 5 Senior Handlers, and 30 conscientious, professional, and personable handlers. Several of you have joined our team this year and have been busy helping at some of our events. I would like to say, "WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS" and "THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO EVERYONE IN OUR INCREDIBLE EDUCATION TEAM. WE COULDN'T DO ANY OF IT WITHOUT YOUR ENTHUSIASM, COMMITMENT, AND SUPPORT. YOU'RE THE GRRR-EATEST THERE IS!!!!" So .... take a bow and pat yourselves on the back. You have certainly earned it!!!! I would also like to thank spouses, friends, and partners for your patience, help, and understanding. We sometimes get so busy and involved that we may occasionally forget to show our appreciation for your support. THANK YOU TO YOU TOO!
