THROUGH A COMBINATION OF IN CLASSROOM LESSONS, FIELD TRIPS, AND FREE COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS, PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES DISCLOVER THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF HUMANS, ANIMALS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP ANIMALS FREE FROM HARM IN HOMES AND HABITATS BY CULTIVATING UNDERSTANDING AND CARE FOR ALL LIVING BEINGS.RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT NATURE-BASED PROGRAMMING CAN HAVE SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE IMPACTS ON HUMAN EMPATHY AND PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR.
