Our Education Department supports wildlife conservation, with a focus on local wildlife, through outreach programs that bring native San Diego to you.
Part of our mission at Project Wildlife is to promote wildlife conservation by teaching
children and adults about the beauty and value of our wildlife. Because California's
wildlife belongs to all of us, we want to encourage stewardship and appreciation of our
native species. The continuing loss of habitat brings wildlife in contact with people now
more than ever before. It is imperative that people learn about the importance of
conserving habitat for wildlife. We will bring our education animals into your classroom,
your scout group, your church or service group and talk about wildlife and their role in our
environment. We will tell their stories because they are unable to.
We ask for prior notice, about one month, when scheduling a program. All of our presenters
are volunteers and we may not always be able fulfill your request. Please also understand that
our animal ambassadors may not always want to go on a program and we never force them, so
we ask that you remain flexible in which type of animal you expect to attend. Please select a
Bird, Mammal, or Combination program and allow us to decide which animals to bring.
Once we have a volunteer and animal lined up for your request, payment will be required
to confirm the program.
Programs start at $75 for a small group and $300 for an assembly. Additional fees may apply.
Call (858) 866-0555, x207 or fill out an online request form.
Please include in your message or email your name, telephone number, your group's name, the number of people in your group, and the date and the time you wish to have an education program. Please allow 3 days for a response.
