Program fee – $300 plus mileage for a standard program. Exhibition fee vary depending on the number of hours booked. Please contact me for a quote.

My fee for a live animal program with hands-on animal specimens is low. I understand that venues have budgets, as do I and Max Lynx alone runs me $1000 a year in meat, vitamins, meds, vet care and licenses. Liability Insurance is $1400. It’s crazy but animal care has gotten to be expensive. Not to mention, I’m the only wildlife educator in the Northeast that has a Canada Lynx as an animal ambassador. Although this venture is a hobby, it’s necessary to recover some of the costs.

Due to permit fees and health certificates required, I no longer cross state lines into Vermont or Massachusetts. It’s too much of a headache.

In short, with Wildlife Education by Bernie you get live animals (some to touch & hold), an educational game, science facts using real animal specimens along with questions and touch time.

I will work with you to design the right program for your audience.

Availability times vary. June through August are my busiest months, so it’s advisable that you contact me early.

I reserve the right to substitute or change animal(s) scheduled for a program.
