Elementary education majors are encouraged to take part in this experience. Or contact Elaine to make arrangements at the Tree House Wildlife Center. A minimum of one shift per week. Day and evening peopoe are greatly needed. There are no set hours, but most people come in at 9 or 10.
All work is done on site except surgery and x-rays.
The shift lasts until everybody is done. Usually they end up finishing up at around noon, sometimes later. Students learn a lot about raptors, mammals, and other hurt and sick wildlife. Students will learn how to handle animals and how to correctly cage animals, and how to help create less stress for the animal. This experience is limited to 2 - 3 students only on a given day of the week.
