“Raptors, Rescues, and Ambassador Birds” Photo Exhibit at Kellogg Environmental Center, Derby
Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) announces a a photo exhibit, “Raptors, Rescues, and Ambassador Birds from A Place Called Hope” by local photographer Sophie Zyla, at the Kellogg Environmental Center, Derby, through the end of March.
A variety of prints of resident birds of prey from the rehabilitation organization, A Place Called Hope (APCH), are displayed. Each one of the birds has been rescued and cared for due to injuries, birth defects or close contact with humans which make the birds unable to survive in the wild. These exquisite birds now serve as the ambassadors, or teaching assistants as APCH reaches out to the public to promote respect and protection for wildlife.
The display also provides information on Connecticut rehabilitators, volunteering opportunities and means of supporting these organizations. This exhibit is free and open to the public for viewing 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, through the end of March.
The Kellogg Environmental Center is located at 500 Hawthorne Avenue, Derby, CT. For further information, phone the Center at (203)734-2513 or email donna.kingston@ct.gov.
