Volunteer your creativity in service of animal ambassadors at Meadowside Nature Center!
Each day, birds of prey are provided enrichment. These are opportunities for an animal to flex their natural behaviors, such as tearing, shredding, sensing novel scents or colors, hopping, or flying. Enrichment can come in the form of a keeper working with a bird or in an object with treats hidden inside.
These objects are crafted by hand out of recyclables and decorated with animal-safe materials and can take many shapes and sizes. Keepers go through 100s of them a month. This is where you come in.
Come join Meadowside staff in a group crafting session to create animal enrichment objects for owls, hawks, and a vulture. It''ll be a real HOOT of a time!
