At Lindsay Wildlife Museum we send programs out with
docents.  These programs include both specimens and
live animals. We have a variety of topics to choose
from and offer to customize programs.
In addition, we have a Natural History To Go rental
program that allows teachers to check out specimens to
augment their curriculum.  Both programs are
advertised through handouts, mailings of education
brochures, and at teacher education events.
