Jr. Wildlife Rehabilitator - Inside the Wild at Acorn Acres

June’s Inside the Wild program offers participants a realistic, hands-on look at what happens behind the scenes in a wildlife rehabilitation facility. Students will step into the role of a rehabilitator as they practice intake and assessment, weighing patients, administering mock medications, basic wound care, and housing and husbandry decisions using models, tools, and guided scenarios. Participants will complete care for their assigned “patients” and take them home, reinforcing learning beyond the session. Led by experienced educators, this immersive experience highlights the precision, responsibility, and compassion required in wildlife rehabilitation.
