CREATURE COVE

Alabama is ranked #1 in aquatic biodiversity in the United States and we’re in the top 5 for overall biodiversity!  Since we have more different types of creatures inhabiting our waters we must acknowledge the huge responsibility to take care of our waterways and conserve our lands for all of these wonderful creatures to continue to thrive.

The Coosa River Science School offers several live animal programs that are designed to meet the needs of any group.  Whether young or young at heart, novice or expert, we’re here to introduce you to some of our most powerful teachers… the animals!

Raptor Trek

The raptor collection here at the 4-H Center incorporates both native and non-native raptors. Come early to tour our state of the art facilities and meet the birds face-to-face. During this program you will learn about the role raptors play in the Alabama ecosystem as well as their unique adaptations and what we can all do to help our wildlife right here in our own state. Our Raptor Trek program is available as part of the residential program (evening program option) here at the Center, or we'll come to you!
