About the event

WhereGring’s Mill Recreation Area, 2083 Tulpehocken Road, Reading

Red Creek Wildlife Center brings a look at Pennsylvania's native wild animals to Gring's Mill Recreation Area. The presentation features live animal ambassadors, giving visitors a close view of creatures that share the woods, fields, and waterways of our region while learning about the work of caring for injured and orphaned wildlife.

Red Creek is a licensed wildlife rehabilitation center in Schuylkill County that treats native species and returns them to the wild. The animal ambassadors who travel to programs like this one are permanent residents, and they help staff explain how each species lives, what it eats, and how people can share space with wildlife responsibly.

The setting along the Tulpehocken makes for an easy evening out, and the program suits curious kids and adults alike. Admission is free, but registration is required through Berks County Parks and Recreation.
