Do you have a budding Zookeeper in your midst? Here's their chance to learn what it's like to be a Zookeeper at the Howell Conference & Nature Center!

Spend the day with our wildlife experts and experience what it's like to care for the amazing creatures in our Wild Wonders Wildlife Park.

 

Start with a Behind the Scenes tour of Wild Wonders, work up an appetite learning about "ZOOtrition" and prepare a wild diet, then try your hand at training.

 

Explore the importance of Behavioral Enrichment through "Keeper Talks," create a "toy" that fits the animals' needs, then watch and see what the animals do!

 

We'll end the day with an up-close look at Wildlife Rehabilitation.

 

Agenda
Owl Nights, February 8 & 9, 7:00 p.m.
February is the perfect time to hear great horned owls "Whooing!"

Did you know that Great Horned Owls are the first birds to nest in Michigan?
 
February is the peak of their mating season; the time of year that these mysterious birds make themselves known to each other by calling for mates and defining their territory.
 
When we're not "whoo-ing," we'll need to be extra quiet. That's why this program is recommended for kindergarteners and up.
