Looking for some "nature geek" online resources that entertain AND educate? Here are some of our Executive Director's favorite links:
National Park Trust - "Buddy Bison" program This web page offers crafts and projects for kids, PLUS virtual park tours. Sign up for their newsletter to get notified about new activities, videos and more.
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary on Facebook Subscribe to Busch Wildlife Sanctuary notifications on Facebook to enjoy their frequent live-streamed videos, featuring animal ambassadors that were treated for illness or injury at their wildlife rehabilitation center.
BBC Earth Kids - YouTube Channel You can subscribe to the BBC Earth Kids channel on YouTube - all critters, all the time! The videos are not too long, not too short, and geared toward children. Natural history programming at its best!
While the park was closed, staff sent in photos of what was going on. The gardens were a riot of blooms and the wildlife were throwing parties every night. OK, that last part is not true. But check it out anyway! CLICK the PIC for all the news!
