Wildlife Programs
The Schuylkill Center provides educational programs featuring non-releasable native Pennsylvania animals that reside at our Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. We travel to areas in the Greater Philadelphia area visiting schools, community centers, scout meetings, birthday parties, as well as many other types of events and celebrations. Our programs address PA Environment and Ecology Standards 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8.
Auditorium style programs feature live animals for the entire 1-hour program:
Raptors (Ages 5 and up)
Get up close and personal with the magnificent birds we call Raptors. Learn about the natural history and adaptations of these top predators of the sky, including hawks, owls and a vulture. In addition to the live birds, students will experience samples of bones, talons, feathers, skulls, and recordings of bird calls.
Wildlife of Pennsylvania (Ages 5 and Up)
Students will be amazed at the variety of wildlife that can be found right in their neighborhood. See birds, mammals, and reptiles then learn about some of the dangers these animals face. In addition to live animals, students will experience samples of bones, feathers, skulls and furs.
Auditorium-style programs are $250 + applicable travel fees.
Classroom style programs feature a combination of live animals and hands-on activities:
Owls
Did you know Pennsylvania is home to eight species of owls? Meet two of The Schuylkill Center’s non-releasable owls. Learn about the lore of these interesting animals and perform an owl pellet dissection to investigate their diet.
Reptiles and Amphibians
Herpetology is the study of the scaly and the slimy: reptiles and amphibians. Help dispel students’ fear of these unique creatures and learn about their adaptations for survival with an up-close look at live turtles and snakes and fun, hands-on activities.
Classroom-style programs are $150 + applicable travel fees.
