The North Bend Public Library and Wildlife Safari will present the program “Wildlife Safari: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?” on Tuesday, July 9 at 2:00 PM. This program will be held at the North Bend Event Tent located on Union Avenue. During the program, families with children are invited to learn the difference between endangered and vulnerable species, what causes species extinction, and what zoos and scientists are doing to recover species populations. They will also experience an up-close encounter with 4 animal ambassadors – an American badger, a rainbow boa, a desert tortoise, and a black-tailed prairie dog. Wildlife Safari is the only drive-through animal park in the state of Oregon. The park features over 550 animals on over 600 acres of land in Winston, Oregon. Wildlife Safari’s mission is to provide the highest quality interaction with wildlife to inspire lifelong commitments to conservation, education, and the preservation of native and exotic species. This program is part of the Summer Reading Program at the North Bend Public Library.
