One With
The Wild
SEWE is committed to supporting conservation by positively influencing wildlife education through specialized programming. A key part of our organization's mission is to conserve wildlife and the environment, and SEWE knows that begins by developing a passion for nature in its attendees.
Annual Educational Programming
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary
The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary of Jupiter Island, Florida rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned wild animals, and educates the public about nature, wildlife and habitat conservation.
For more than a decade, the nonprofit has brought the natural world to SEWE, giving attendees an up-close and personal look at fascinating animals, from alligators, bobcats and foxes to birds of prey, snakes and more. The organization's presentations in the Gaillard Center focus on the natural history of animals, ecology, endangered species, urban wildlife and conservation.
The Center for Birds of Prey
The Avian Conservation Center & Center for Birds of Prey identify and address vital environmental issues through education, research, and conservation initiatives and by providing medical care to injured birds of prey and shorebirds. The nonprofit offers experiential programs to promote awareness and appreciation for the natural world and humans' respective roles as stewards in its preservation.
The Birds of Prey flight demonstrations are some of the most educational and entertaining shows during SEWE. Attendees in Marion Square can watch as a variety of raptors take flight, while learning about environmental issues and the important role that birds of prey play in our ecosystem.
The Orianne Society
The Orianne Society is a global organization dedicated to conserving some of the planet's most intriguing and remarkable animals - reptiles and amphibians. The nonprofit protects these species through habitat conservation and restoration and land management methods that promote game species like the bobwhite quail, wild turkey and whitetail deer.
During SEWE, the organization teaches attendees why it is passionate about protecting these species and how it promotes conservation during informative presentations. Attendees in Marion Square have the chance to meet the Eastern Indigo Snake, Gopher Tortoise, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake and more.
