WILD Education

A crucial aspect of WILDNorth’s Mission is to educate the public about the importance of wildlife in our community. WILDNorth’s education programs help foster an appreciation for, and knowledge of wildlife; all while empowering individuals to take action to minimize negative human-wildlife interactions.

“We are a part of the community, wildlife is a part of the community, and the community is a part of us.”
– Kim Blomme, WILDNorth Founder
