Animal experts on hand for programs

Learn about wildlife by tapping into Wild South, which offers a wide range of educational wildlife programs through school presentations and community events.

In addition to programs about other critters, Wild South is offering black bear experts to share insights and knowledge on these mighty animals.

Naturalists and other wildlife experts provide activities to get individuals directly connected with nature involving the outdoors.

Wild South’s Wildlife Outreach Coordinator, John Edwards, will assist schools and other organizations in scheduling and coordinating animal kingdom experts who can provide up close and informative presentations for all ages.

A limited amount of “special funding” for events during the 2011-12 school year is available for both schools and organizations, made possible by friends of Mountain Wildlife Days and other contributors.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
