Wildlife Education Programs

Bring the WILD to Your Group!

There’s nothing quite like meeting a live animal to spark curiosity.

Nature on the Geaux Wildlife Education Programs bring live animal ambassadors directly to your classroom, library, camp, homeschool group, Scout troop, or organization for a fun, interactive science experience.

Participants will meet a variety of animals while discovering how they survive, adapt, behave, and interact with the world around them.

What’s Included?

Each program includes:

  • 6–8 live animal ambassadors

  • 45–60 minutes of interactive learning

  • Up-close observation and discussion

  • Hands-on participation when appropriate

  • Plenty of time for questions

  • Educational content customized for your group

Animal ambassadors are selected based on the program topic, age of participants, availability, and the comfort and well-being of our animals.

Small Groups Are Welcome!

You do not need a full classroom to book a program.

Whether you have a homeschool group of 6, a Scout troop of 12, or a classroom of 25, every visit is customized for your group.

Smaller groups often allow even more time for questions, observations, and individual interaction.

Program Topics

Programs can focus on a variety of wildlife topics. You can check our current topics here.
