Card Wildlife Education Center and Wildlife Museum

The Card Wildlife Education Center is an educational facility focused on wildlife conservation and natural history. Located at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, this center serves as a dynamic educational resource for both university students and the general public. The facility comprises a 5,000 square foot natural history museum that exhibits over 180 wildlife specimens from various parts of the world. The center's offerings are designed to educate visitors on the diversity of animal species, the importance of conservation, and the natural history of the Michigan region. It is an ideal resource for homeschooling families and educators seeking experiential learning opportunities in wildlife and conservation topics. The center offers free visits and encourages both individual and group visits, although groups of over 10 people are requested to arrange their visit in advance. This makes it a valuable and accessible educational resource for families, schools, and community organizations interested in expanding their understanding of wildlife and conservation efforts.
