Wildlife Educators Coalition is a small, public charity in upstate New York.  Our mission is to educate and entertain kids of all ages by sharing not only our love for and experiences with animals but also promoting key social values such as respect and responsibility.  The importance of environmental awareness is always emphasized.  Our devoted members each have a variety of exotic pets.  By lovingly sharing their knowledge of these animals, they give the audience a unique experience and encourage a kinder gentler world.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Wildlife Festival to be held in a New York State Park.  We are thrilled to be partnering with Letchworth, the Best State Park in the US!

Please join us in making this a memorable event!
