Education at CROW

CROW believes in the importance of promoting awareness and appreciation of our native and migratory wildlife through education. It is only through knowledge and understanding that people will value, preserve and protect our environment, wildlife, and their native habitat, ultimately fostering a lifetime of care and respect for America’s wildlife and natural resources.

Education has been an essential part of the mission of CROW since it was founded in 1968, and we offer a variety of educational programs facilitated by trained staff and volunteers.

The education outreach at CROW brings programs to schools, civic groups, churches and community organizations throughout Lee County, Florida and beyond. Click here if you would like a CROW volunteer to visit your school.

The goals of the educational programs are:

• To promote greater appreciation for native and migratory wildlife and their natural habitat needs.
• Educating children about the importance of wildlife safety, habitat preservation, wilderness awareness, and our ability to co-exist with native wildlife.
• To foster awareness of the role of humans in promoting preservation and providing healthy places for wildlife to live.
• To provide information on the mission of CROW
