The Wild Center Announces Drive-In Movie Theater

July 22, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - The Wild Center has converted a portion of the Meadow parking lot into a drive-in movie theater to provide another safe, outdoor experience to visitors. The Wild Center will be showing family-friendly movies and other "edutainment" on Saturday evenings beginning Saturday, July 25 and running through August. Gates open at 7:30 p.m. for the drive-in and movies begin playing around 9:00 p.m. This physically distant program allows families to spread out in a safe manner while enjoying popular films.

Visitors to The Wild Center, which began their phased re-opening on July 15, can add a Drive-in Movie Experience in the same week as a visit to the Center for just $15 per carload. Guests without Wild Center admission can purchase tickets for $20 per carload, $15 per carload for members. All spots must be reserved ahead of time by phone, email or online at www.wildcenter.org/drivein.

On Saturday, July 25, The Wild Center will be showing "Jurassic Park" on the big screen. The Wild Center is encouraging guests to purchase popcorn from the State Theater, located at 100 Park Street in Tupper Lake. Popcorn orders can be made online at tupperlakemovies.com and are available for curbside pickup starting at 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays. In addition, guests to The Wild Center's Drive-In Theater may bring their own food and drinks, and will have access to the on-site drink vending machine.

Composting toilets will be available for attendee use and are located at both ends of The Wild Center's parking lot. In addition to watching from the comfort of their car, guests are able to bring up to two lawn chairs to sit directly in front of their vehicle, which will be parked at least six feet away from other parties. Everyone is required to wear a face covering when outside of their vehicle.

The Wild Center's Drive-In Movie Theater is one example of a new, open-air experience provided by the science-based museum. In addition, The Wild Center is utilizing their Wild Walk platformed trail, Forest Music and other aspects of its largely outdoor 115- acre campus to provide a one-of-a-kind outdoor visit. Reservations are required for The Wild Center's outdoor experience, including the drive-in movie theater.

The Wild Center to Reopen July 15

June 26, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - The Wild Center is pleased to announce that they will be welcoming visitors back. The Wild Center will begin a phased reopening on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, starting with Wild Walk and outdoor experiences. As a continued commitment to the health and safety of visitors, staff and the wider community, The Wild Center has implemented limited capacity, enhanced operational procedures and cleaning protocols.

"We're excited to welcome visitors, members, staff and volunteers back to our outdoor experiences so that we can continue to make lifelong memories in nature. It was important to us that we not reopen until we were absolutely sure that we could deliver a Wild Center experience that people have grown to know and love while doing so in the safest manner possible," said Stephanie Ratcliffe, Wild Center Executive Director.

"I have been reviewing The Wild Center's reopening preparations and safety planning for the past few months," explained Tupper Lake Mayor Paul Maroun. "I'm excited that we will soon be able to begin to welcome visitors back to the Center and Tupper Lake. I believe the thorough planning and safety measures taking place will help protect not only visitors, but our community as well. The more we can do to keep each other healthy, the sooner we can welcome more visitors back."

Temporary adjustments have been put in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable
experience for everyone. These include:

Outdoor experience: The Wild Center will utilize Wild Walk, Musical Forest and its largely outdoor 115-acre campus to provide a one-of-a-kind experience. During the first phase of reopening, The Wild Center's indoor portion including exhibits, the Flammer Theater, Wild Supply Co. indoor gift shop and the Waterside Cafe (restrooms excepted) will remain temporarily closed. Visitors are encouraged to pack picnic lunches as limited pre-packaged snacks will be available. Curbside pickup of Wild Supply Co. items ordered online will also be available.

Timed ticket reservation system: For your safety, The Wild Center has transitioned completely to a new timed ticket reservation system to manage capacity which limits the number of visitors on campus during a given time. Reservations may be made online, by phone or email prior to arrival and are required for all guests, including members. Timed reservations will be available beginning Monday, June 29. Tickets are valid for one-day only.

Promoting wellness: All Wild Center guests (ages 2 and over), as well as staff and volunteers, will be required to wear face coverings at all times when visiting. Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the campus. Wild Center staff will frequently clean and disinfect high traffic areas and restrooms. Visitors are asked to follow one-way directional signage and ground markings which have been installed to help guests better navigate while practicing physical distancing.

Paperless visit: For the safety of visitors and employees, The Wild Center is
temporarily accepting cashless payments only. Paper maps have transitioned to digital maps, which visitors may view on The Wild Center's website, accessible on mobile devices, or through a brand-new Wild Center app. Visitors may also access audio tours and self-lead scavenger hunts through the mobile app.

Although visitors will not have access to the indoor otter exhibit, visitors will be allowed to catch a glimpse of the otters in the behind-the-scenes outdoor otter play yard - a spot normally off-limits to visitors. Wild Center naturalists will hold short live animal encounters and drop-in educational programs throughout the day in specific locations around the outdoor campus. Naturalist-led canoe trips will be available by reservation for an additional fee.

For more information on reopening, guidelines and reservation information, visit The Wild Center's Visit page: www.wildcenter.org/visit/.

The Wild Center will be open seven days a week by reservation from 10am to 5pm from July 15, 2020 to October 11, 2020. From October 12, 2020 to May 30, 2021, The Wild Center will be open Friday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

Registration Open for Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education Virtual Conference
Hosted by Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program

For Immediate Release: May 27, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - Registration is now open for the Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education, a virtual conference for educators across the country, hosted in partnership with Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Program Office, and The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program. From July 22-24, 2020, the three-day training will provide educators with skills, tools and resources to teach climate change concepts and empower students in all subject areas.

"It's hard to imagine effectively addressing climate impacts and climate change without a broad, deep, educational strategy," said Frank Niepold, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Education Coordinator, who has been working as a partner with education systems and organizations for over a decade and a half. "The Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education partners have come together with an innovative model to provide resources and professional support for a robust climate change education training for teachers across the nation."

Designed for middle and high school teachers across all disciplines, the Stay-In-stitute will encourage participants to do authentic scientific and social data collection, making observations of the world around them. In addition, the virtual conference will offer small group online experiences and optional evening events. Attendees will explore solutions to climate change, learn how to engage students in action and discover new ways to collaborate on solutions unique to one's community.

"Climate change solutions are made in the classroom, at home, and within our communities," said Lindsey Kirkland, Climate Change Education Manager of Climate Generation. "We have been given a unique opportunity to reimagine what education can be and how we can build opportunities for climate change solutions together. Virtual learning experiences allow us to make connections across our public and at-home learning spaces that don't exist in the traditional system, and these new changes make engagement much more personal and community driven."

The Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education merges two in-person residential teacher programs planned for this summer by two of the partner organizations. Climate Generation has hosted their Summer Institute for Climate Change Education for over 14 years and The Wild Center's Summer Institute for New York State Teachers debuted last year as the first multi-day institute of its kind hosted by The Wild Center.

"Our current at-home situation allows us to co-develop a version of virtual climate education that is interactive, creative and builds community," explained Erin Griffin, The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program Manager. "We are excited about this partnership because everyone involved has deep experience with climate change education and is looking to think outside-the-box on what virtual experiences can look like. We all remain committed to climate change education even though our programs can't happen in-person as originally planned."

Registration for The Stay-In-stitute for Climate Change Education costs $150 and includes ongoing support throughout the year. To make the online conference inclusive and accessible to all teachers, scholarships are available for participants. Scholarship priority is given to People of Color and teachers in underserved districts. The conference counts towards 20 hours of Continuing Education and may be used towards two graduate credits (optional). The deadline for registration is July 13, 2020.

The Stay-In-stitute is presented in collaboration with Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Program Office, and The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program, who have partnered on climate education initiatives for years. Climate Generation's climate change education program, including the annual Summer Institute, is made possible with support from Avangrid Foundation and Olseth Family Foundation. More information about the conference, as well as registration and scholarship information, is available here: https://www.climategen.org/our-core-programs/climate-change-education/professionaldevelopment/summer-institute/

The Wild Center Celebrates a New Season with a Virtual Spring Jamboree

April 29, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - The Wild Center is throwing a Virtual Not Quite Open But Dearly Hopin' Spring Jamboree on Friday, May 1, 2020. The all-day event celebrates and symbolizes a new season at The Wild Center, which normally opens its doors on May 1st to reintroduce visitors to the wonders of the natural world on its campus. Although public operations are temporarily suspended at the Adirondack-based science center and outdoor nature experience, the virtual party invites visitors to participate in fun activities and programs - all from their living rooms.

Each opening weekend also marks another birthday for the Center's five North American River Otters - Squirt, Louie, Scarlett, Ta:wi:ne and Roh:sno:re. The Otter Birthday Party celebration, a fan favorite of opening weekend, will take place at noon on May 1st, as part of The Wild Center's Lunchtime Live digital program. Viewers can sing "happy birthday" and watch as the otters are fed a special birthday treat.

The digital day will also include talks with The Wild Center's staff, wild art tutorials and a look inside a brook trout during a live fish dissection. A behind-the-scenes-tour is scheduled to take viewers to places most never get to see, including the otters' backstage play area and a private visit with their wild animal ambassadors.
To end the evening with light-hearted laughs, The Wild Center is debuting their first ever Member Digital Events with a family-friendly dance party at 6 p.m. and Adirondack trivia at 7 p.m. Members must register to attend.

"Typically, we'd be getting ready to welcome back our visitors on May 1st with lots of fun activities and new exhibits," said Stephanie Ratcliffe, executive director of The Wild Center. "There's nothing typical about this year so we have cooked up a special day to offer those experiences virtually for our friends far and wide."

The Virtual Spring Jamboree is just one of many free digital offerings by The Wild
Center. With a mission to help others fall in love with nature, The Wild Center has been providing daily innovative and educational online content with "Lunchtime Live" on The Wild Center's Facebook channel and educational distance learning programs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am EST. Previous episodes are archived on the website for viewing at any time.

Viewers can also enjoy virtual tours around The Wild Center and its outdoor Wild Walk, watch live webcams of the surrounding Adirondack wilderness and browse a library of nature videos.

The Wild Center is also a part of I LOVE NY's coloring pages project. Visitors can
imagine the view from Wild Walk's giant eagle's nest and other New York attractions as they make their pictures come to life with pencils, crayons and markers. The coloring page can be found at: https://www.iloveny.com/blog/post/new-coloring-pages-let-youcolor-

The Wild Center Remains Committed to Connecting People with Nature

March 20, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - Although The Wild Center is temporarily suspending public operations until further notice, the Adirondack-based science center and outdoor nature experience remains an educational and entertaining resource through its suite of online content. New digital lessons will be featured daily on The Wild Center's social media channels. In addition, the extensive trail network of the Tupper Lake campus remains open for individual use and enjoyment, provided visitors maintain six feet of social distance for safety, as recommended by the New York State Department of Health.

The Wild Center's mission is to help others fall in love with nature by exploring new ways people and nature can thrive together. During these unprecedented times, The Wild Center remains committed to connecting people with nature by offering daily innovative and educational online content. Viewers can enjoy digital animal encounters, get behind-the- scenes looks and learn about fun activities one can do in their own backyard by tuning in daily to "Lunchtime Live" on The Wild Center's Facebook channel at 12pm EST. Viewers are encouraged to interact by asking questions, providing feedback and submitting their own ideas for future content. Additionally, The Wild Center's education and animal care staff will be offering free, live educational distance learning programs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am EST.

Wild Center Executive Director Stephanie Ratcliffe noted, "If you have been resistant to getting on the social media bandwagon, now is the opportune time to join in - The Wild Center has many different on-line experiences to try out from your living room!"

Guests are welcome to view multiple webcams of the surrounding Adirondack wilderness, found on WildCenter.org. Viewers can also take a virtual tour of The Wild Center, navigating through the facility with a click of the mouse. Guests can stop to explore specific exhibits, such as the Trout Pool and popular Otter Falls - where a video of the resident otters can be played. Another virtual tour takes viewers on a hike along Wild Walk, a platformed trail across the treetops designed to connect people with the Adirondacks in an easy and accessible way.

The Wild Center is also home to many live, rehabilitated animals, providing them with a safe and healthy habitat while acting as ambassadors for their species. These animals will continue to be well cared for during the closure, and a limited number of essential staff are providing animal care and safely operating all critical facilities related to their well-being.

"We have always focused on finding new, fun ways for people to learn about the animals, plants and environment of the Adirondacks. Through this all, we remain committed to showcasing our place in this wild world and its future," said Hillarie Logan-Dechene, The Wild Center's Deputy Director. "While it is difficult to predict how long the current situation will last, there is one thing that is certain - when this is behind us, we will have a greater need than ever to get outside and appreciate the natural world around us."

The Wild Center is able to continue to operate their facility as necessary in large part to the support of its members and partners. As a thank you, they will be honoring and automatically extending all memberships through the reopening of the facility to the public.

The Wild Center Unveils New Youth Climate Toolkit

March 11, 2020

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - The Wild Center has launched a new Youth Climate Program webpage and toolkit to support the increased interest in youth-led action and assist with planning and executing Youth Climate Summits around the globe. These Summits are conference-style events that provide opportunities for youth to learn about place-based climate science, explore climate change solutions and collaborate with a team to create a climate action plan.

Since 2009, The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program has hosted the annual Adirondack Youth Climate Summit, a two-day experience for high school and college students to learn about climate change, impacts and solutions before designing their own climate action plan. Based on the success of the Adirondack Youth Climate Summit, other organizations and areas have been inspired to create their own Youth Climate Summits with a global network of 40 Youth Climate Summits - and growing.

The new Youth Climate Program webpage includes new and interactive features that highlight the power and influence of the Youth Climate Summit network, including a map that showcases stories from Summits around the world. A timeline of History & Recognition tracks the progress of the Adirondack Youth Climate Summit - from a regional event to what has grown into an internationally-recognized program. The Adirondack Youth Climate Summit was first recognized by The White House Office of Science & Technology Policy in 2014 as one of 19 key initiatives around the country.

The revamped Youth Climate Toolkit offers a series of free resources for locations around the world that are interested in hosting their own summit. The toolkit includes a step-by-step guide for creating a summit from start to finish, as well as sample agendas, budgets, evaluation templates and more plug-and-play resources for summit planning. It also includes a Climate Action Planning Workshop Facilitator Guide with sample lesson plans, slide deck, worksheets and tips from youth on how to facilitate a workshop specifically for students. Additionally, the new Partner Summit Media Kit offers sample photos, press releases and social media posts, as well as guidelines on how to acknowledge The Wild Center in promotions.

"A key component to global action on climate change is inspiring place-based climate solutions at a local level," explained Caroline Dodd, Youth Advisory Board for The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program. "The upgraded toolkit will help organizations around the world create hubs of local climate action by hosting their own Youth Climate Summits, which will bring together local experts and inspire youth to be today's climate leaders."

A virtual unveiling of the suite of free resources will take place on Tuesday, Apr. 7 from 2-3pm and Thursday, Apr. 9 from 7-8pm. Led by The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program, this digital introduction will be an interactive celebration, with advice from youth, stories and advice from summit organizers around New York State, a brief introduction to the new resources and time for questions from the audience. Anyone interested in hosting or learning more about Youth Climate Summits is encouraged to participate in one of the free webinars. To register for Youth Climate Summits: Join the Movement Webinar, visit: www.wildcenter.org/toolkitlaunch.

Jen Kretser, Director of Climate Initiatives at The Wild Center said, "We are so excited at how these new resources will elevate the visibility of youth-led climate action, showcase the power of the Youth Climate Summit network and inspire new Youth Climate Summits around the world."

The Wild Center's Youth Climate Program new webpage, free toolkit and other planning resources to give students a voice on climate change are available here:

The Wild Center Celebrates the Arrival of Two New North American River Otters on June 22

Tupper Lake, N.Y. - The Wild Center family is expanding this summer with the arrival of two male North American river otters. The pair make their debut in Otter Falls on Saturday, June 22 from 10am to 5pm, which also marks The Wild Center's inaugural You Otter Run/Walk 5K benefitting the Center's Betsy Lowe Fund for Adirondack Education.

The pair began their journey to The Wild Center in Ohio where they were trapped as nuisance animals. Crayfish farmers in Ohio often trap North American river otters as their diet subsists of crayfish, as well as snakes, frogs and fish. These trapped river otters are often slated to be killed and used for fur, or in some cases, relocated to areas without enough food to survive. The Wild Center's Animal Care staff was made aware of their situation and jumped at the opportunity to rescue the pair. The otters join the Center's three other otters: Louie, Scarlett, and Squirt.

Currently unnamed, the otters will be welcomed by a group of youths from Akwesasne as they learn about the mammals, then discover suitable names in the Kaniehkehaka language. The naming project works to keep the spirit alive of the lasting Ways of Knowing partnership between The Wild Center and the Haudenosaunee community.

About You Otter Run/Walk 5K
Put on your otter whiskers and follow Ollie the Otter through Tupper Lake when the inaugural You Otter Run/Walk 5K takes place on Saturday, June 22. The 5K race is a fundraiser to support education programs for Adirondack school groups coming to The Wild Center. Registration begins at 8am and the race begins at 9am. The fee for the race in advance is $20 for ages 5 to 14 and $30 for those over 15 years old. Day of registration is $40 per registrant. Online registration can be found at wildcenter.org.

First, second and third place prizes will be awarded, but all participants will receive a medal.

Funds raised by You Otter Run benefit the Center's Betsy Lowe Fund for Adirondack Education which supports visits to The Wild Center from L.P. Quinn Elementary and other Adirondack schools. The funds pay for school programs related to the otters and other Adirondack animals, plants and many aspects of nature and science based topics.

About Ways of Knowing
Indigenous voices come together to bring you Ways of Knowing. Working in partnership, the Akwesasne Cultural Center, The Six Nations Indian Museum, the Native North American Travelling College and The Wild Center unite to broaden and heighten our understanding and appreciation of the natural world. The collaborative and multi-faceted project opened at The Wild Center in 2018 and encourages visitors to continue their exploration at the Akwesasne Cultural Center in the Mohawk community of Akwesasne, The Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota and the Native North American Travelling College on Cornwall Island.
