Color Our World with the Beauty of Wildlife in Mobile!

The Environmental Studies Center hosts a wildlife rehabilitation program focused on caring for and potentially releasing injured and orphaned native wildlife. Join us for the Summer Library Celebration, where they will share information about animals native to the Alabama region. Their educational performance will feature a variety of local animals, which may include an opossum, snake, alligator, hawk, or owl.
