The Center for Wildlife Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center were established to teach the wider public, including school groups, all about wildlife. The center started off with a single Bald Eagle in 1997 and has grown by leaps and bounds. Today the center covers over 17 acres and resident animals include mammals like opossums and skunks, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds, waterfowl and raptors. Visitors can observe the animals as they walk along trails and walkways and can attend daily wildlife presentations. You are welcome to bring along your camera to catch the various animals and raptors in action.
