Education and outreach
SBWCN's commitment to Outreach and education
Wild Welcome is a product of the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network’s commitment to public and youth education, designed to inspire community appreciation for our wild neighbors.
Our educational programming for all ages aims to encourage curiosity and exploration about local wildlife, animal rehabilitation, and our shared ecosystems. It is through education, public outreach, and collaboration that we build a safer environment for living
harmoniously with wildlife.
