NC Wildlife Center Field Trip


Our grade level had a gorgeous day for our field trip to the NC Wildlife center. We enjoyed a walk to NC State campus, a ride on the Wolfline, and several hours at the center. While at the Wildlife center, we visited an animal identification lab (that's right, skin, scat, and skulls!), and walked area woods and gardens learning to recognize key habitat elements for many of North Carolina's Piedmont mammals. We also attended a short film and lecture on the difference between generalist and specialist species, and the impact of urban development on the Piedmont's animal residents.
