Our hearts are heavy after recently saying goodbye to one of our Ambassador Animals, Olive the opossum. Olive was an active and lovable girl, and most importantly, a fantastic ambassador for her species.
New Ambassador Animal "Spicing" Things Up at PWC
This season, we're especially thankful for everyone that has shown up in one way or another for PWC this year, whether you met our birds at one of our Raptor Fly-Thru events, participated in our camp programs, or showed your appreciation from afar on social media. If it wasn't for the unwavering support we've been given throughout this year, quite literally none of the work we've been able to accomplish in 2020 would have been possible. That's something to celebrate We're also celebrating a new addition to our menagerie of Ambassador Animals: Pepper, the Virginia Opossum!
"Shellfies" Put to the Test!
This probably goes without saying, but...it's been a year. One for the books. At Piedmont Wildlife Center, some things have changed: we've gone virtual for our Animal Encounter programs, and camps continue to operate under COVID-19 protocols. Some things have remained the same: our box turtle study is going stronger than ever, and the turtles in the park are blissfully unaware of any sort of chaos taking place in the world.
PWC Presents Running Wild, Our Unique Virtual Race
We created our Running Wild virtual race as a safe, fun way to involve everyone: to engage folks all over the world who like to run, race, be outside, support nature and wildlife, or dabble with data analytics.
