FIF at Moorpark Spring Spectacular 2007


March 17 & 18
March 25
March 31 & April 1


Spring is in the air. Island foxes are getting ready to have their litters of pups across the Channel Islands. Come help us celebrate.

Over the next three weekends Friends of the Island Fox will be out at America's Teaching Zoo participating in their Annual Spring Spectacular at Moorpark College. (10 AM to 5 PM daily)

We’ll be raising awareness about the island fox and its Channel Island home and making connections with the community and educators.

The Spring Spectacular is a great family outing with animal shows, a Kid’s Fun Zone and more. Visit their Website

Representatives from Friends of the Island Fox are happy to participate in Earth Day Fairs and school conservation events. You can help spread the word about the endangered island fox–its conservation challenges and successes–by inviting FIF to your community or school event.
