Taking time to observe the beauty and fascination of wildlife in a natural habitat can compel individuals and groups to reach out and protect that which is so beautiful (and in many cases, majestic) yet today, in the environment we live wildlife has become so vulnerable mainly due to pollution and lack of respect for the natural elements which composed life from the earth’s beginning. A miracle has prevailed in those that have, those that are, and those who will take a stance to ensure the protection and perseverance of wildlife conservation.
Northport K-8 School has been recognized as a certified Natural Wildlife Sanctuary by the Natural Wildlife Federation.
