EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO CONSERVATION
Educating the next generation about protecting our natural resources is one of our founding principles.
School Visits
We conduct visits to schools anywhere in KwaZulu-Natal and give educational presentations to classes of any ages. The talks cover a range of topics, like what C.R.O.W. does, some of our rescue stories. We also cover environmental, conservation-rich subjects like the importance of ecosystems, animal adaptations, nature reserves and rehabilitation centres, taking care of natural resources and their role in conservation.

C.R.O.W. Visits
We host schools at C.R.O.W. in Yellowwood Park with activities and presentations held at our education centre (which can seat up to 60 people). Children will also be able to meet our tortoises in their enclosures, and learn about conservation and what C.R.O.W. does by taking a walk through our educational displays.
Guided Nature Walks
Our knowledgable education officer conducts walks through the beautiful Kenneth Stainbank nature reserve (which neighbours C.R.O.W.), showing children animals in their natural habitat, teaching them about various plants and trees and helping them connect to conservation in a real, hands-on way.
Reptile Shows
Our director, a reptile aficionado, offers reptile presentations, showcasing a range of live reptiles from alligators to pythons to lizards. The presentation will seek to answer a range of questions about the anatomy, habitat and behaviour of snakes like how to tell if a snake is venomous or not and what scales are for.
