1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of
the person with whom you volunteered.
- Contact
Name: Ronny Gregory
- Phone
Number: (909) 599-7512
- Organization:
San Dimas Canyon Nature Center
2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic
choice?
- He
has had many years of experiences with these animals and makes sure he
provides the right environment and shelter for their well-being. He is
also currently sheltering hawks who are part of the wild wings
organization. This organization helps prepare the Hawks so they can
eventually be released into the wild.
3. List three questions for further exploration now that
you've completed your summer hours.
- What
is one of the most important pieces of information that people should be
most aware of about wildlife animals?
- Is
captivity better for wildlife animals and if so how do they adapt to it?
- Why
is rehabilitating animals so important to the environment?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this
experience? Why?
- During
my experience, I met people who still are concerned for the future. I
admire the fact that there's people who know what's happening to our
environment and realize that we're taking it for granted. In the end I
believe that that's what wildlife animals revolve around.
5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How
did mentorship help you make your decision?
- Wildlife rehabilitation.
Mentorship has helped me actually experience how wildlife animals are and
has taught me the differences between animals in captivity from the
ones in the wild. Before mentoring, all I did was read about it online.
Now I am able to be a part of it and I love that feeling.
