Thank you to Olivia and Minnie the Pigeon from the Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island for visiting with our teens at Central last night. Attendees learned about the Wildlife Clinic's great work, what to do if they find a sick or injured animal, and volunteer & educational opportunities at the clinic. They also participated in hands-on activities, including a basic health exam for Minnie. It was a fun and educational program!
