We Have a Blog! Check out our blog at www.piedmontwildlifecenter.org/coyote and read what our staff, board members and volunteers are doing. We are just getting started with the blog so it will take awhile for everyone to get set up and going. Check back often or, better yet, join the blog so you get to read everything hot off the press!
Crossing Paths, a feature article in The Chapel Hill News and the N & O in February, talks about our wildlife tracking workshop at Leigh Farm Park. The original workshop scheduled for February 6th was cut short due to weather so we are offering a 2-hour Art of Tracking workshop on March 14th. Find out more details HERE.
Look What Just Flew In! Three new education raptors arrived at Piedmont Wildlife Center on January 13, 2010. All three birds are former patients of the Carolina Raptor Center (CRC) whose injuries left them permanently disabled and unable to be released. They obtained a new lease on life with us, where they serve as animal ambassadors and educators for our programs. See pictures and more info on our raptor page!
National Wildlife Week: March 15-21!
Help us celebrate National Wildlife Week with a variety of activities, including a scavenger hunt, tracking exercises, and our first annual photo contest! Take the family, or just yourself, outside to experience the wildlife in our area.
Spring Camps for 2010
Piedmont Wildlife Center’s spring intersession camps are outdoor adventures that are designed to stimulate curiosity and awaken enthusiasm for the natural world. Join us as we explore and deepen our connection to nature and to one another by exploring and discovering the world around us. Most sessions are one-week long day camps with a few 3 and 4-day camps. If you know of 5 children available during a different week, contact us and we'll design a camp just for them!

We have found a new way for you to support wildlife by helping Piedmont Wildlife Center raise money for wildlife by creating your own fund raising page at Firstgiving, an online fund raising site we are using to raise money. Will you help us? |
