Watershed on Wheels Exhibition
Exhibits from The Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge's Watershed on Wheels are on display at the Center at Glastonbury through March at 1361 Main Street, Glastonbury, 06033. Seven kiosks feature multimedia panels about the ecology and conservation of the Connecticut River Watershed.
The species commonly found in the Connecticut River watershed from New Hampshire to Long Island Sound, the threats to the health of the watershed, and the solutions to recapture and maintain its health - these interactive panels cover it all.

You can do everything from try to find the camouflaged animals in the scenes, to seeing if you can grip as hard as a Bald Eagle's beak!

Animal Care Program
What is the Animal Care Program?
The animals at the Center at Glastonbury are a part of many of our education programs and need care 6 days a week to stay healthy and happy. Animal care is important, yet can be expensive and time-consuming. Our Animal Care Program is an opportunity for people to volunteer their time and bond with a live animal while also providing the organization with invaluable assistance that we otherwise could not afford.

Responsibilities include weekly care on a specific day or days of the week. Care usually includes feeding, changing or filling the water container, cleaning of the cage, and socialization with the animals.
Do I have to have experience?
Training will be provided by the staff. Each animal has different requirements, so training is required whenever you begin working with a new animal. All that is required is a willingness to learn and follow instructions. And a few other things...
What is required to be an animal caretaker?

You must be at least 7 years old.

Individual or family must be a member of the Connecticut Audubon Society.

Children under age 16 MUST BE accompanied by an adult during EACH animal care-taking session.

For more information, please click here for program details and a printable application form or contact our Animal Care Coordinator, Linda Hincks, at animalcare@ctaudubon.org.
