Sorry - we are fully booked for the 2024–2025 school year. Bookings for the 2025–2026 school year will open in July.
Inviting Hope for Wildlife into the classroom is a wonderful way for children to learn about local wildlife. Our presentations feature a variety of education animals, all of whom are permanent residents at our facility. There is no cost for these presentations, though donations of $3 per person are greatly appreciated. If your class prefers to give in-kind donations instead, we’re always in need of eggs, gas cards, leafy greens (no iceberg lettuce, please), ground beef, and frozen fruit.
Please note: We are only able to visit schools located within a one-hour drive of our Seaforth facility. This policy is in place to protect the welfare of our education animals during travel.
We can accommodate presentations for up to 30 students per classroom. Our programs are best suited for children in Grade 2 or higher (typically ages 7 and up).
We’re also happy to host field trip presentations at our Seaforth location! These include a visit to our Education Centre and a guided tour of the wildlife gardens to meet our education animals. On-site tours also have a limit of 30 students due to space restrictions.

Live animals are generally not included in these sessions. However, depending on the venue and setup, one education animal may occasionally be part of the presentation.
These talks focus on the work of wildlife rehabilitation, its connection to environmental sustainability, and the mission and impact of Hope for Wildlife.
