CENTER FOR WILDLIFE SERIES - The Center for Wildlife (CFW) is both a private, non-profit wildlife rehabilitation facility and environmental education organization in Cape Neddick, Maine. They not only take in injured and orphaned animals with the hope of releasing them back to the wild but also care for non-releasable animals that live with them in sanctuary as ambassadors. During each program, CFW educators and live animals will present together including a visual presentation, followed by plenty of time for questions and answers.
