Beyond the wildlife rehabilitation services we provide, the Center continues to focus on its mission to educate more people in the community (particularly children) about human impacts on wildlife and critical ecosystems, and how they can become stewards taking action to protect these valuable natural resources in a region facing intense pressure from development and population growth.

Each of our educational programs provides children and adults opportunities to:

1)  Connect with and develop respect for the rich diversity of wildlife that co-habit our environment;

2)  Learn how human activity impacts wildlife; and

3)  Be inspired to take action that will help sustain the wildlife species that they learn about

A unique feature of CFW’s program is our team of 16 species of live, non-releasable wildlife “ambassadors” trained for presentation to audiences, including owls, hawks, falcons, Virginia opossum, big brown bat, turtles and snakes.

"Giving children the experience of learning about birds, raptors and reptiles first hand helps them develop a sense of wonder, curiosity and respect for the natural world."
-  Nancy Hotchkiss and Connie Parsons, Co-Directors of The Children’s Garden preschool in Portsmouth, NH
