Enjoy Educational Programs at Salato this Fall
Fall is an exciting season for many reasons, so while making plans for you and your family, consider a visit to Salato! Our Conservation Educators are delivering programs that cover a wide assortment of topics and allow visitors to enjoy up close looks at raptors, witness enrichment programs and training sessions with bear and bobcats, and see what a snake really feels like to the touch!
Those planning their visit in advance can view daily programs "at a glance", as well as descriptions and times, by visiting Salato's online activities calendar.
Registration is not required unless indicated, and all programs are free with paid admission into the center. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 5-18, and 4 and under are admitted free. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the door.
For more information and to purchase tickets or memberships, visit the Salato Center's webpage.
Now in its 50th year, one of the main goals of National Hunting and Fishing Day is to recruit new hunters and anglers by encouraging participation and increasing public awareness of the connection between hunting, angling, and conservation.
