Junior Aviculturist

The Junior Aviculturist Program is an exclusive opportunity for select hardworking and dedicated high school-aged students (ages 14-18) interested in future careers in zoological and wildlife fields. During the program students gain hands-on experience in all aspects of aviculture, working alongside the Conservancy’s staff.

Activities may include assisting with nest searches, egg management, artificial incubation, nest box design, duckling/gosling husbandry, and aviary management. Programs are scheduled during the height of our breeding season, June through July, and are two weeks in length. 

Please contact Andrew Ocampo for availability and tuition.
