SUMMARY:Field Trip - Liberty Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Who We Are\n\n\n\nLiberty Wildlife is a 501 (c) 3 not for profit organization dedicated to nurturing the nature of Arizona through conservation\, education\, wildlife rehabilitation and sustainability.  We are mainly a volunteer based organization of about 250-300 volunteers and a small staff. \n\n\n\nWhat We Do\n\n\nWildlife Rehabilitation\n\n\n\nLiberty Wildlife assists the state of Arizona with rehabilitation of native species\, specializing in avian\, reptile\, amphibian and small mammal species.  We care for between 7000-8000 animals every year with a release rate over 50%\, above the national norm. \nOur goal is to release every animal that comes in to us.  Those that cannot be rehabilitated to a quality of life are humanely euthanized.  All others are released or if non releasable are placed in zoos\, nature centers\, or breeding facilities or used as educational ambassadors or foster parents for their species. \nLiberty Wildlife specializes in caring for endangered and/or threatened species like California condors\, bald and golden eagles and all raptor species.  We also are the ‘go to’ facility for caring for other native wild birds especially during the busy orphan season. we generally assist over 130 different species in a year. \nVolunteer options in this area include Hotline\, Rescue/Transport\, Daily Care\, Orphan Care\, Medical Services (must apply for training after volunteering in another area). \n\n\n\nEnvironmental Education\n\n\n\nLiberty Wildlife provides first class educational programs using trained handlers/teachers using well-conditioned educational raptors who have been deemed non-releasable.  We recently provided over 827 programs a year at 488 different venues using over 50 different raptors\, tortoises\, and snakes.  Attention is given to conservation and sustainability\, state standards\, age appropriateness\, particular educational requests\, and the enhancing of attitudes like compassion and engagement. \nOur basic season for programming runs from mid-September through mid-May.  A program request can be made on the web site under Education. \nEducational volunteers must apply for training after volunteering in another area. \n\n\n\nResearch and Conservation\n\n\n\nResearch and conservation works with corporations\, agencies\, businesses that interface with wildlife to help avert negative impact.  This area is manned by biologists and specific training for the different areas is provided on the job. \n\n\n\nNon-Eagle Feather Repository\n\n\n\nThe Repository\, one of two in the United States\, provides feathers\, carcasses\, and parts to legally recognized Native Americans who use these items for cultural and religious practices.  The obtaining of these protected items had been illegal since the late 1990s making it difficult for the Native American to fully experience their cultural belief and regalia. \n\n\nCost: \n\n1 adult with 1 child        $7.76\n1 adult with 2 children $10.87\n1 adult with 3 children $13.98\n1 adult with 4 children $17.09\n1 adult with 5 children $20.19\neach additional adult   $3.62\n(Children 4 and under are free)\n\nTime: \n\nCheck-in is at 9:45 AM\nTour starts at 10 AM\nLate arrivals will forfeit their tickets\n\nThere is no food provided\, but snack time will be part of the tour.
