Wildlife Enrichment Workshop: Get Hands-On with Our Rescued Animals
Looking for a more hands-on, immersive experience at Toucan Rescue Ranch? Our Wildlife Enrichment Workshop is perfect for families or small groups who want to actively engage with the animals while learning about animal husbandry and enrichment practices!
During this private workshop, you’ll have the chance to volunteer, connect with the rescued residents, and create enrichment toys designed to enhance their well-being.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Introduction & Lecture: Begin with an informative session where you’ll learn about different enrichment activities and their importance for rescued animals.
- Sanctuary Walk: Take a brief walk around the property to meet various animals and hear their rescue stories.
- Create Enrichment Toys: After the walk, you’ll roll up your sleeves and prepare enrichment toys for the animals.
- Snack Time & Fun: While you create, enjoy snacks from one of our favorite local restaurants. (Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when booking.)
- Animal Reactions: Once your enrichment toys are ready, you’ll help implement them and watch as the animals interact with your creations.
- Review & Reflection: Afterward, gather at the Education Center for a review of the enrichment process with your tour guide. You’ll discuss how the animals responded and brainstorm ideas for future enrichment activities.
- Souvenir: As some animals might not react immediately, we’ll send you a photo of the animal enjoying the enrichment, straight to your email as a fun souvenir!
Private Tours: A More Intimate Experience
For those looking to enjoy a more personalized experience, we offer private tours of the sanctuary! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning a family outing, or simply want a more exclusive tour, our private walks provide a unique opportunity to have your very own guide. You’ll get a deeper connection with the wildlife and a more customized learning experience. Private tours are perfect for small groups, families, photographers, or anyone who wants a more intimate tour.
