A private, behind-the-scenes adventure at Nature’s Nursery invites young wildlife enthusiasts ages 6 to 12 to explore animal care through hands-on enrichment. Over two hours, one child works one-on-one with a Wildlife Enrichment Expert to plan, build, and place enrichment items in real animal habitats, watch how the animals respond, and learn species facts and personal stories about the organization’s wildlife ambassadors. The experience highlights how enrichment supports animal well-being, and each participant receives a Junior Wildlife Enrichment Certificate at the end. Sessions take place on the Davey Moore Education Center side of the building. This program is designed for independent participants, so parents and siblings do not accompany the child, and participants should be comfortable attending on their own. Cost is $175. Photos may be taken during the class, and families can let a staff member or volunteer know beforehand if they prefer not to be photographed. The facility can be loud at times as some animals get excited around visitors. Natural feeding may be observed, including insects, fish, quail, and frozen-thawed rodents, and peanuts are also used on site. If weather restrictions from the Lucas County sheriff lead to a cancellation, the class will be rescheduled and details will be emailed by the Education Director. Nature’s Nursery is a 501c3 nonprofit that relies on monetary and in-kind donations for funding.
