The Talking Talons' mission is "To elevate youth to become effective advocates and ethical stewards of themselves, wildlife and the environment." By interacting with our non-releasable birds of prey, bats, and reptiles, they will learn how important these and other animals are to the ecosystem and why they are worth saving. By teaching them public speaking, they will learn how to pass this message on to other people. They will also have the opportunity to go on hikes, learn about movie making, do art projects, and play in the great outdoors!
