 Wargo Nature Center:
Wildlife Outreach
The
Wildlife Outreach program is provided free to local schools and
provides presentations on MN animals in an informal and fun
manner. The Wildlife Outreach Program is conducted by staff
naturalists at various school sites in the northern metro area.
School groups choose a topic from a list of ten possible MN
animals to augment their curriculum. The presentations are
approximately 45 minutes each and focus on the animal's habitat,
adaptations and conservation issues. Artifacts such as furs,
bones, mounts, and costumes are used to bring the animals to
life. Each student takes home a brochure that covers key points
of the presentation.
The Wildlife Outreach Program takes place
during the winter months of the school year. Animal topics are
periodically changed and updated to reflect the current
interests of students and current events. Thanks to the
continued interest from Connexus Energy, over 25,000 students
are able to participate in this free program annually.
This program is offered to schools in the Connexus Energy service area only.
