These animal ambassadors star in daily animal demonstrations and feedings so that ECHO guests can get up-close-and-personal. Meet and speak with Animal Care Staff, who will describe the care given to the animals at ECHO, the fascinating and unique features of each species, their relationship with the environment, and the stewardship actions we all can implement to maintain or improve the conditions in the Lake Champlain Basin.

ECHO's Animal Care Department assists the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department by over-wintering hatchling turtles rescued each fall. These neonates are exhibited in the Animal Care Lab on the top floor of ECHO and are often the subject of "behind-the-scenes" tours.
