Join us for our 2nd Annual Exotic Animal Care Conference (Digital this year!)
Friday, March 19
As our SM&NC friends and partners are well aware, the animals in our care are essential ambassadors for educating our community about the importance of conservation and environmental education. Whether we are caring for snakes, lizards, small mammals, or tarantulas, our staff knows the importance of meeting all the needs of each animal. We are, therefore, very pleased to announce that we will be hosting our second exotic animal care conference on Friday, March 19th! This digital experience will allow animal care providers and experts to explore strategies and ideas on best practices in preventative animal care, enclosure design, enrichment, and other subjects. Registrations and inquiries should contact the conference organizer, Kendall Musgrave, Environmental Education Supervisor, at kmusgrave@stamfordmuseum.org. Registration for ages 14+.
Registration fee: $10/individual; $25/organization for 3 or more participants
