Animal attendant of the day

Discover the secrets of our biologists' work! Learn more about the care and behavior of our animal residents. This workshop gives you the opportunity to actively participate in the well-being of animals in rehabilitation at Éco-Nature, such as turtles, snakes, salamanders, tree frogs, toads, and more. The activity takes place in our laboratory at the Exploration Center with a naturalist guide and aims to raise awareness about animal ethics and to discover what enrichment entails.
