This is great way for kids to see these animals. Some exhibits let them compare the native with exotic species. And we've had a lot of babies so that's a wonderful opportunity for discovery.

We feature a new artist every month, watercolors to photographs.

Last year, we had about 225 students come to the Education Center. This academic year, we'll have at least 1,500 school kids and more are signing up ever day.

People need to come out here, take a walk and see how a natural environment works when it's not terribly disturbed. The more exposure people have, the more they will love it and want to sustain it.
