Wildlife Education Programs

We Bring the WILD to You!

Bring the excitement of wildlife discovery directly to your classroom, school, library, or organization with Nature on the Geaux!

Our interactive Wildlife Education Programs feature 7 live animal ambassadors and provide an engaging, educational experience that encourages curiosity, respect, and appreciation for wildlife.

Participants will discover fascinating animal adaptations, habitats, behaviors, and the importance of conservation through a combination of touchable animal opportunities and observation-based encounters.

Some animal ambassadors may be gently touched under educator supervision, while others are best appreciated through observation. Both experiences help participants learn about animal behavior, welfare, and responsible interactions with wildlife.

Each 45–60 minute program is adapted to the age and learning level of the audience.

Meet Our Animal Ambassadors

Each program features a diverse group of seven live animal ambassadors:

  • 1 Invertebrate

  • 1 Lizard

  • 1 Tortoise

  • 1 Snake

  • 1 Amphibian

  • 2 Mammals

Some animals may be gently touched under educator supervision, while others are best appreciated through observation. Both experiences help participants learn about animal behavior, welfare, and respectful wildlife interactions.

Specific animals are selected by the educator and may vary based on animal health, welfare, and availability.
