Blue Ridge Wildlife Center: Trick or Treat for Wildlife!
Beetle, our fish crow, would like to invite you to a spooky and wild event…
Are you looking for some wild Trick or Treating fun? BRWC is bringing back the Trick or Treat event with the wildlife ambassadors!
The event will take place Saturday, October 25th, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, on the BRWC Wildlife Walk and in the Ronald M. Bradley Learning Center classroom. There will be 20 children’s tickets available in 30-minute time slots to go through the Wildlife Walk. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door, they must be purchased on our website. Tickets can be purchased for $10 per Trick or Treater (anyone actively participating in the activities and accepting candy). This means that if you are a guardian escorting a Trick or Treater, you DO NOT have to purchase a ticket for yourself.
Trick or Treating with the ambassadors will entail multiple stations set up throughout the Wildlife Walk in front of the corresponding ambassador enclosure. Each station will include a short activity displaying a key trait of the ambassador and a themed candy to accompany it. Beetle the fish crow, Bramble the great horned owl, and Slim the central ratsnake are a few of the featured ambassadors this year! We hope to see you there!
