Do you have a nature center near you? Ann does--go along with her and volunteer raptor handler Lew Boynton to meet a whole cast of avian characters living at the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove. Nature Centers give us a humane way to understand the wildlife around us. Volunteering at your local nature center can provide you the privilege of caring for and interacting with wild animals.
