Educational Outreach
Since 1983, Wolf Hollow has sought to increase peoples’ interest in and understanding of the wildlife living around them, and to increase their awareness of the impacts of human activities on wildlife and their habitats.
Education Outreach Program
Our Education Outreach Program aims to combine research-based rehabilitation data and natural history to inform the public on best practices when it comes to coexisting with wildlife. Through partnerships with other local agencies, Wolf Hollow hopes to build community engagement and strengthen the human-animal connection to create an ecosystem that is safter for all species.
Our program is very diverse and always evolving, in any given week we may:
Give a slide show on “Wildlife on the San Juan Islands” to a Road Scholars Group
Use educational artifacts such as feathers and skulls to illustrate species specific adaptations
Lead wildlife activities for kids at an outdoor education camp
- Give presentations about Living With Wildlife to tourists and locals on the WA State Ferries
- Partnering with WA State Parks to create free, accessible events for the public
- Compile data to determine the reasons behind hospital admittance, and discuss the results with the public to create solutions
- Working with landowners to provide education on wildlife- friendly practices, as well as mitigation techniques
If you live in San Juan, Island, or Skagit Counties and would like to learn more about local wildlife, human impacts on wildlife, or what we do at Wolf Hollow, please email: education@wolfhollowwildlife.org.
Wolf Hollow is currently raising funds for a Wildlife Education Van! This van will allow us to bring science-based, hands-on learning directly to schools, community centers, and public events throughout the region.
