BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
by Alley Pond Environmental Center
*UPDATE* With the bus strike leaving most schools without the ability to get to APEC, we've been doing more than double the outreaches that we would in a normal winter month.
As an example, on our busiest day, 12 ambassador animals left the building!
It is very important to take every precaution we can when we take the animals on these outreach programs, and that's why we need your help.
This campaign will raise funds to purchase heating elements, both for the animals that travel outside of the building, and for the reptiles and other animals that are sensitive to the cold and temperature changes in the building.
Using our animals, the acres of parks land located directly behind our building, and our knowledgeable and dedicated staff, APEC strives to educate both children and adults. We try to foster a sense of responsibility in all who walk through our doors; a responsibility to wildlife, the natural environment surrounding us, and our sustainable future. We offer environmental programs for children starting as young as 18 months, high school volunteer and internship programs, college courses, teacher workshops, and family and adult programs designed to teach and inspire.
