Educational Programming 2008

Teaching Drum School - Native Skills

Native skills will be demonstrated as primitive crafts are being taught to spectators as they visit the primitive camp setting of a village back in time. They learn old skills of their ancestors - how to gather edible and medicinal plants, how to tan hides, trap fish, to make twine and baskets, as well as a dugout canoe.

Northwoods Wildlife Center, Inc.

The Northwoods Wildlife Center is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) wildlife rehabilitation and education center that was established in 1979 by Dr. Rory Foster.  It is their mission to better the future of wildlife through rehab, education, and research.  Every year the Center treats 700-1000 patients, which includes mammals, birds, reptiles and the occasional amphibian.  Wildlife education is actively promoted through programs and on-site tours with the help of non-releasable birds of prey and turtles.
