Virtual

Please note that patients from Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre will not be part of the in-person program due to their high stress levels and need for a quiet space to heal. An exception is made in the Live Virtual Tour where staff are shown working with our patients in real time.

In-Person Presentation

Book an educator to visit your group with a multimedia presentation where participants will learn about the history of SPWC, the rehabilitation process, and patient stories from rescue to release.

Note: Our mobile gift shop can be brought to the presentation by request at no extra cost.

What participants are saying

"Our group has been engaging in adult educational tours with Sandy Pines for a few years now, and we are always amazed at and inspired by all of the incredible work that the team does for local wildlife. We have learned so much about how to have empathy and compassion for wildlife and how to support this work through volunteering, education, fundraising, and other initiatives."
Environment training coordinator
Live Virtual Tour
"Thank you so much for a wonderful presentation and virtual tour of Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre. The tour of the hospital provided us with a behind-the-scenes peek of the work done at Sandy Pines. The knowledge and skill of the staff and volunteers, as well as their compassion and concern towards the animals was evident. I would highly recommend this presentation for other groups looking for a speaker. Well done Sandy Pines!"

"Even a short encounter such as this online session by SPWC's Education Coordinator is enough to inspire people to take action and spread the word to do what one can to care for the earth and all its living creatures more fully."
Program participant
Virtual Presentation
"I enjoyed the "from rescue to release" focus. It was nice to learn that SPWC is a specialist in some of its animal care, e.g., other rehabs send their raptors to SPWC because of the opportunity for more specialized pre-release therapy."
