Educational Visits
Pearson's Farm & Animal Rescue - Wildlife Champion
We are Wildlife Champions and live by the Three E’s:
Educating the public on animal welfare issues and habitat destruction.
Experiences that connect people back to nature – to enjoy, learn, and truly understand the value of protecting our ecosystem for all living beings.
Ethical actions – always operating in an open and transparent manner.

Rotating activities – so each group experiences different aspects of farm and animal life (maximum 10 per group).
A trained farm guide – providing engaging education and real rescue stories about our animals.
Hands-on learning stations – animal care, gardening, and farm sustainability activities.
