Wildlife Workshop with Austin Wildlife Rescue

Pease Park Conservancy is excited to partner with Austin Wildlife Rescue for an interactive wilderness presentation, tortoise meet and greet, and a wilderness walk!

Join The Conservancy and Austin Wildlife Rescue at the Tudor Cottage for a special family friendly presentation on native Texas Wildlife and what we can do to help these beloved creatures. Staff and rehabilitators from Austin Wildlife Rescue will be joined by special animal ambassador Tortellini – a Texas Tortoise!

Please note that although we love all creatures at Pease Park, dogs are not allowed at this event for the safety and wellbeing of the special animal ambassador.
