Mission Statement
Our mission is simple. Inspire kids to fall in love with wildlife using art and education. We believe the more you learn, the more you love, the more you protect.
Description
A Brief History:
Our nonprofit began with the mission to help save the critically endangered American Red Wolf. With fewer than 30 left in the wild, our founders, Dale and Loti, sought to raise awareness. Dale, a wildlife sculptor, created a Red Wolf mom and pup sculpture, producing limited edition castings donated to 40 of the 50 US conservation organizations working to save them.
At the same time, we taught a class of 3rd graders about Red Wolves. Their immediate question, "How can we save them?" inspired us to educate the next generation of wildlife champions.
Our Programs:
We teach lessons about all kinds of underdog species to K-8th grade classes in Polk and Henderson counties, inspiring the next generation by sparking a lifelong passion for conservation and empowering kids to become champions for wildlife.
