503-555-9270), so we can arrange a carpool.
We’ll meet at 3pm in the Interpretive Center where the children can explore on their own. After that, we’ll tour the care center hospital. We’ll be behind a big bank of windows, but will be able to see into the hospital as we learn about what happens. We may see even get to see some of the educational birds up close.After the tour, we will explore the Sanctuary Trails and have lunch together at the pond. Be sure to bring appropriate shoes and raincoats.
The Wildlife Care Center always needs bird seed (mixed), corn on the cob, apples, carrots, bleach, and laundry soap. Consider bringing a donation.
