If you've ever wanted to go behind the scenes to help at a nature center, and you’re in grade 6 or 7, The Connecticut Audubon Society offers an after-school Junior Animal Care class that may be just right for you! 

This weekly class is an opportunity to join naturalist staff in caring for, and studying, the resident non-releasable animals who call the Center at Fairfield their home. Students receive an overview of our live animal collection including reptiles, amphibians, birds and invertebrates. From glamorous to gross, you’ll participate in animal husbandry care, prepare and offer food, and help ensure the animals have a healthy living environment. At the end of the course each participant will receive a certificate of completion.

Space is limited and advance registration is required. The six-week series fee is $72 for CAS members, and $96 for non-members. Proceeds support The Connecticut Audubon Society’s conservation and environmental education programs in Fairfield. Pre-registration required at:https://www.ctaudubon.org/2018/09/junior-animal-care-keeper-9/, or call 203-259-6305 x109.
