Kingston/Mapleton

Saturday, April 2nd, at 2 PM.
Animal Ambassadors of Mercer County Wildlife Center.

Location : Mapleton Preserve/D&R Canal State Park, 145 Mapleton Road, Kingston.

Kingston Greenways Association will host a visit from the Animal Ambassadors of Mercer County Wildlife Center. The Center is a state and federally licensed facility that cares for injured, ill and displaced native wildlife. This one hour program will feature four animals from the Center that for various reasons are not releasable back into the wild. These animals travel to schools and community events throughout the year, acting as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.

Past programs have featured a barred owl who sustained neurological damage, a turkey vulture with a damaged wing, a red-tailed hawk that became imprinted to humans, and a broad-winged hawk with only one eye. Learn more about these species, their interface with our world, and what to do and NOT do should you come upon wildlife in need of help.

The program is free and open to the public, and is appropriate for all ages. The event will be held rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, seating may be limited. For more information, call 609-750-1821 or visit www.kingstongreenways.org
