Program Description

Event Details

We are partnering with Virginia Wildlife Care to support their good work with local wildlife. We are All Together Now to meet some wildlife ambassadors that have stories to tell.

You may be able to see Tiva, the groundhog; Tipsy the eastern gray squirrel, Rocket the southern flying squirrel and Noggin the chipmunk (who is very very shy). 

Please bring a gift for them when you come to the program. Here are some of the things they can use.
