The International Wildlife Museum is dedicated to increasing knowledge and appreciation of the diverse wildlife of the world as well as explaining the role of wildlife management in conservation. The museum highlights over 400 species of insects, mammals and birds from around the globe. Dioramas depicting wild animals in their natural settings, videos, interactive computers, and hands-on exhibits promote wildlife appreciation and conservation. In addition to supporting local paleontological research projects, the museum has a large collection of authentic animal artifacts for lending to supplement everyday teaching, Scout programs, library, and community events. Items such as audiovisual materials, skulls, horns, antlers, and fur are available to help bring hands-on activities to students. Curriculum guides and suggestions for classroom activities are also available through their Lending Library. The International Wildlife Museum is an educational program of the Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF), a charitable organization that funds and manages worldwide programs dedicated to wildlife conservation, outdoor education and humanitarian services.
