Hello all!
Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville, Tennessee is in need of animal
trophies, skulls and skins. Pam Petko-Seus, our wildlife biologist,
needs them for outreach programs at local schools. They will also
be used in our museum.
Ijams was established by the Audobon Society on property
willed by the Ijams family. The center leads school groups
on educational trips on the property on most days of the school
year. Wildlife biologist Pam Petko-Sues travels to area schools
to teach children about wildlife. There is a museum and a
pavillion where UT professors and area naturalists give talks.
Ijams is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
We are asking for trophies, skulls, and skins of animals native
to eastern North America north of Mexico. Until we build our new
nature center, we will not have space for exotic species. Specimens
should already be prepared, as we can't afford to take specimens
to a taxidermist.
Contributors will receive the Ijams newsletter and the satisfaction
of helping a good cause.
Send me email describing any specimens you would like to
contribute and I will send you Ijams address.
Thanks!
Leslie Jones
Ijams naturalist
