Tigers for Tomorrow is now booking through fall 2024 and taking reservations for home school groups and school field trips. The Preserves educational philosophy is based on the belief that the earlier children are exposed to nature, the earlier they can develop an understanding and appreciation for the world’s wildlife. Recreational, educational and social activities give children the opportunity to learn and master skills, pursue their interests and talents and broaden their social and cultural experiences. Growing up with this understanding will help them to make informed decisions as adults on issues relating to wildlife conservation and renewable resources. That is why the Preserve’s education programs begin with preschool aged children. This belief is broad based in that it applies not only to children, but adults, too, as you are never too old to learn about conservation. Preserve Educators empower both children and adults to make decisions and take action for the good of the planet.
