Trouper the Blind Raccoon CANCELLED

Wednesday, April 12th
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Donations accepted, reservations required

You have the opportunity to meet Trouper the Blind Raccoon, an actual living raccoon who is now seven years old. As a baby he survived a terrible accident. His accident could have been avoided if the person who hurt him knew about respecting wildlife! His injury occurred when Trouper was hit in the head by someone with a golf club who did not respect him as a wild animal.

As a result of his accident, Trouper was left blind and unable to feed or defend himself at only eight weeks old. He lost his ability to be a wild animal.

Thankfully, Miss Dot rescued Trouper and nurtured him through incredible odds of survival. You will get to meet Dorothy “Dot” Lee and learn her story. Their story inspired the founding of the WEP (Wildlife Education Project) in hopes that educational intervention could make a difference in the protection and preservation of all living things.
