Project Wildlife Outreach
Change in Services
San Diego Humane Society's Project Wildlife will be offering outreach programs during its off season between the months of October through February. Program requests outside those months may still be possible on a limited basis. Please fill out the request form at the end of this page and a staff member will reach out to you. Thank you!
We feature our information booths and animal ambassadors at special events, business partnerships, fairs and conferences throughout San Diego County. Staff manage the ambassadors attending the info booths and are prepared to answer questions about Project Wildlife, San Diego Humane Society, its programs and initiatives.
Due to the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) we cannot guarantee the attendance of a wildlife ambassador, however we will do our best to accommodate. For more information on HPAI please visit sdhumane.org/birdflu.
Project Wildlife charges for our educational programs so we can continue to help more than 13,000 patients annually. When requesting a program please provide a few different dates/times that work for you, the number of people expected to attend, and your preference on wildlife ambassador.
Guidelines
The following guidelines have been developed to help you prepare for your special event, as well as understanding expectations for each partner.
What we’ll need from you:
- Determine a 2-3 hour time frame for the event.
- Accommodate parking for SDHS vehicle (when possible). If parking cannot be reserved, instructions will be needed on parking options.
- Provide unloading/loading zone location on-site.
- Provide 10x10 space outside for our tent and information table. Please let us know if you can provide a shaded area or a tent.
- SDHS staff will arrive 30 minutes before the event to set up.
- If you can provide us with a table/tent/chairs, please let us know. If you cannot, we can bring our own equipment.
Project Wildlife Event Requests:
- When attending a Project Wildlife information booth, a staff member will typically bring along a wildlife ambassador animal.
- The time frame is typically two to four hours. Due to state regulations, we cannot keep wildlife ambassadors out for longer than a 4 hour period.
- Attendance and choice of the type of wildlife ambassador cannot be guaranteed. If, at any time, the presenter is concerned for the animal’s safety or welfare, the presenter may decide not to use the animal or to shorten the program.
- By law, only the program presenter may handle or touch wildlife ambassadors.
- For events scheduled with food, the wildlife ambassador must remain at least 20 feet away from food service areas and 10 feet away from any other food.
- Each wildlife ambassador is unique. Please always follow the instructions of our program presenters to ensure the best possible program for you and the animal.
