Vacation Week at Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary featuring the National Marine Life Center

Join us at Oak Knoll for a special guest presenter from the National
Marine Life Center to learn about marine animal strandings. How do you
take care of an injured seal or a sick sea turtle?  Participants will
learn how the animals are cared for after they are found, what measures
are taken to get them healthy and how they are released back into
nature. This is a hands-on interactive educational program. 

The National Marine Life Center is located in Buzzards Bay. The NMLC
is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) rehabilitation and release
hospital for the treatment of stranded sea turtles and seals, with
future plans to expand to treat dolphins, porpoises, and small whales. 
Their emphasis is to educate the public about the needs and status of
these important animals and their environment, and to research their
health needs and threats in captivity and in the wild.
