Education Animals

Wherever we are, we’d all like to think of ourselves as an intellectually active group, herd, flock, school or warren. Progressive learning like our brand for the 21st Century combines live animal interactions from trained professionals that can benefit any generation. The Bunny Hutch’s highly effective and conducive mission wants to bridge the divide to all in an informal learning setting. But what does that mean? Whether you are a teacher, parent, day care, homeschooling, preschooler, church group, excursion group, senior community, or learning environment we want to bring a little “wild” into your life. Any one of our conservation programs can be tailored to your group. How do we know? As a group of AZA trained professionals we have done it before. Why not share that knowledge with you
