The pre-schoolers were very excited to see the animals and were even able to interact with them! We split into small groups led by our instructors Fionna, Lyla, and Liz, with support from Dina and rehabilitator and founder Cheryl. In one of the stations, we got to visit birds! The birds were very energetic and friendly. The pre-schoolers were ecstatic because they were able to pet baby ducklings! Cheryl also showed us a large habitat for a bird she is rehabilitating that cannot fly. The kids were enamored by the liveliness of the birds.

In another group, we got to step inside the enclosure where baby geese live! The kids got to run around with the baby geese and pet them. These goslings had lost their mother, so they instead would look to Dina for guidance! Nearby the goslings, a sheep and turkeys said hello to us and put on quite the show of noise!

At the final station, the kids got to feed the animals by throwing food in their pond. We also had lots of visitors such as baby chipmunks scurrying nearby.
