Inspiring a passion for science, nature and cultural experiences is a shared priority for the Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF) and The Wildlife Experience.  As long time community partners, the collaboration demonstrates the mutual dedication to providing lifelong learning opportunities for the next generation of leaders.  

In August 2011, the partnership grew and The Wildlife Experience was awarded a DCEF grant covering the cost of field trips and outreach for many students.  The grant allows The Wildlife Experience to continue to offer rich educational programs designed to instill respect for habitat and wildlife and inspire efforts to conserve within the students and the community.
