Why Swim With Otters?
Nurtured By Nature and Animal Educators is committed to fostering a love for animals through interactive programs, which bring the public face to face with unique animals, in a safe and controlled environment. It is only through a bond with our planets animals that we, as co-dwellers, will feel a heightened sense of responsibility to ensure their preservation.
The purpose of Nurtured By Nature is to:
- Foster hope and well being to children with life threatening to terminal illness through physical interactions with nature.
- Promote a healthy life outlook and healing for children who have suffered severe emotional trauma through physical interactions with nature.
- Inspire a bond between humankind and animals, promoting preservation.
- Create innovative and sustainable conservation projects.
The purpose of Animal Educators is to:
- Provide a foundation for our employees, and for the care and wellbeing of our charges, in a way that is sustainable and beneficial for both.
- Animal Educators is the provider of most of the opportunities and funding used by Nurtured by Nature
