Big thanks to Neil Rafferty, Representative for Alabama House District 54, for supporting Jefferson County greenspaces. The benefits of educating with live animals are well established, but caring for wildlife requires skilled staff, time, and expense. This funding provides food, bedding, exhibit maintenance equipment, and enrichment items for our animal ambassadors. Grady, the gray ratsnake thanks you, too!
