Prescott CC - 2026 PROGRAM CATALOG

Join a live wildlife talk with Jane Newhouse, founder of Newhouse Wildlife Rescue, and meet Nibi the beaver and Stanley the groundhog!


Newhouse Wildlife Rescue is a rehabilitation facility for injured and orphaned wildlife in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. With the company of Nibi and Stanley, Jane will discuss how wildlife is rescued and cared for in the rehabilitation facility. You will learn the dos and don’ts of helping injured and orphaned wild animals in emergencies, how humans can coexist with wild animals in our community, and gain awareness, love, and respect for wildlife. Bring your questions!


Nibi, the celebrity beaver, was rescued in 2022 after being found alone on the side of the road as a one-week-old. The state later determined that Nibi was healthy and should be released. Petitions, social media outcries, and court battles ensued to keep her safe in rehab. The story was reported by The New York Times, The Washington Post, “Today Show,” the BBC, and beyond. Finally, with the intervention of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, Nibi was granted a permit to stay with Newhouse as an educational ambassador.

**Children must be accompanied by a paying adult.**
