2021 SCHEDULE

Wednesday, March 10th: "HEART Wildlife: Wildlife Proofing Your Home!" (watch the recording HERE)

Are squirrels, raccoons, birds, and other wild animals winding up where they are not welcome? Learn how to humanely wildlife-proof your home or business from the kindhearted pros at HEART Wildlife Removal! 

Wednesday, May 12th: "Kids & Dogs: Best Friends?" (watch the recording HERE)

Explore the relationship between two of our most beloved family members and learn how they can coexist happily and safely. Teaching kiddos how to respect a dog's space and care for them goes a long way in strengthening their bond, and can even help keep pets with their families. If you're looking to add a dog or child to your household, this just may be the perfect event for you!

*POSTPONED* Wednesday, July 14th: "Animal Transports: Behind the Scenes!"

Learn all about what goes into an animal transport, what HSCC does to ensure responsible medical protocols, why they are important to both the local community & those where the animals are coming from, and how transport saves more lives! 

*Due to the pandemic, all seminars will take place on Zoom from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Links will be provided 24 hours before the seminar on the Facebook event page (click the seminar titles above) or by contacting Erin at erina@hsccvt.org*
