Talks with Local Children
An important part of conservation is sharing knowledge with children.  Many of the people living in areas just outside of
the park have never seen the Visitors Center or trails!  Children provide a means to help spread the word about he
importance of protecting the environment and the local flora and fauna.  Whenever possible, we deliver talks and
demonstrations to local children (and adults).
