Wildlife Experiences at the Nature Center

Join us for fun, interactive and educational programming discussing our red wolves, various raptor species, herps and more! We work to make every experience engaging for a variety of interest levels and ages.

Join Reflection and our friends from Defenders of Wildlife to welcome master wildlife artist Dale Weiler for an unveiling of his sculpture, "Just Settling In," which will be placed in our welcome center. Dale spent most of 2019 carving a sculpture of a red wolf and her pup called "Just Settling In" from alabaster. From the original sculpture, ten limited edition castings were made available to red wolf conservation organizations. The castings are being used to bring awareness &amp; funding to our red wolf populations, both in the wild and in human care. This is a free event and is open to the public. We'll provide drinks, snacks and will have an interactive program including brief remarks about our role in the program and what's new in the conservation of the endangered American red wolf. Visitors who want to see the wolves are encouraged to join us earlier before sunset. The native wildlife exhibits will be open for tours until 5:30 pm.Tish Gailmard, Director of Wildlife for Reflection, explains the local importance of the program: “The American Red Wolves at Reflection Riding are ambassadors for their species and valuable contributors to the captive breeding program. In fact, three litters have been born on-site over the years and hopefully we’ll have many more in the future. These vital and beautiful animals help us understand the challenges American Red Wolves are facing and the importance of their restoration.”Any donations made during the evening will be split 50/50 with Defenders of Wildlife. About Defenders of WIldlifeDefenders of Wildlife is dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities.Defenders of Wildlife envisions a future where diverse wildlife populations in North America are secure and thriving, sustained by a network of healthy lands and waters.
