RTF partners with educators to create experiential learning opportunities through field trips and virtual sessions that illuminate the intersections of wildlife biology, public land policy, and conservation ethics. Students explore how human decisions—about land, water, and law—affect the lives of wild herds, and how science-based solutions like fertility control can help sustain them. These programs inspire critical thinking and environmental stewardship in the next generation.

Volunteers become part of the living classroom—helping with daily herd care, habitat maintenance, event support, and visitor engagement. Through this hands-on work, you'll gain insight into how sanctuary operations model humane management and regenerative land practices, and see the tangible impact of care, consistency, and stewardship on animal and ecosystem health.
