Review for Center for Wildlife, Inc., Cape Neddick, ME, USA
I work at a Montessori school in the area, and we have both visited the Center for Wildlife and had them come to our school to give presentations. This is a wonderful service in teaching children to respect and care about the larger world, the wild animal world in particular. The Center staff brought in live animals for the children to see, thus providing concrete examples of what they're talking about. As an extension of their visit, we dissected the owl pellets the Center provided, further enhancing the learning experience. We are so grateful to have such an organization in southern Maine!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Outside of my role as teacher, I contacted the Center when a bird in our neighborhood got hung up on a telephone wire and the Center was involved in the "rescue." They informed me that they had to euthanize it because its bill was so badly damaged. Sad news to hear, but I felt grateful that there was an organization to help this bird who might otherwise have died a slow and painful death.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
...make it more affordable to have them come in for a school visit. I don't consider this their "fault," however; it's just a wish.
