💚 Why We Do It

Dino Buddies is on a mission to make wildlife education inclusive and empowering. These programs are intentionally affordable to remove barriers for families and schools—and every event is built around the belief that real change starts with real connection.

Whether it’s helping a child touch a turtle for the first time or guiding a family through pet lizard care, we’re creating meaningful moments that build compassion, curiosity, and confidence.

Because every future conservationist starts with a single “Wow!”
