Each year, representatives of Nebraska Wildlife Rehab give over 60 presentations to local civic, special interest, school and extra-curricular groups. We commonly work with groups such as the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Nebraska Humane Society, Fontenelle Forest, birding associations and nature conservancy groups to educate the public about Nebraska's native wildlife.

Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, Inc. offers speakers who can present on a variety of wildlife topics. Our speakers are licensed wildlife rehabilitators, educated and knowledgeable in the fields of the natural history of wildlife in Nebraska, wildlife education, and human/wildlife conflict, among other topics. We offer several different programs, and are also happy to tailor a speaking program to suit your group's interest or your students' curriculum. Our most popular topics are Bats, What to Do if you Find a Wild Animal, Wildlife Rehabilitation, and the Natural History of the Wildlife of Nebraska. Many of our speakers bring animals with them so that your group can get an up-close and personal view of Nebraska's native wildlife. We also offer Power Point presentations on the above topics, as well as our organization.

Possible topics include:

• Bats of Nebraska and the World
• How to Attract Wildlife to your Backyard
• Natural History of Nebraska Wildlife
• What to Do If You Find a Wild Animal
• NWRI and the Rehabilitation of Wildlife in Nebraska
• ... and many more

Our presentation fee is $50 for the first hour, and $25 per hour for each additional hour. A minimum fee of $50 is charged, regardless of program length. Most programs generally last one hour. Fifty percent of the speaking fees charged cover the cost of transportation and time for the speaker. The other fifty percent of the fees go directly to help the wildlife that is admitted for care each year.

Our speakers do not bring animals to groups of children under the age of eight, although programs without live animals may be possible. They will speak to family groups of all ages, provided the parents of the children are present.
