Living Collections Resource Community: Activating a Community of Practice for Institutions With Live Animal Collections

Saturday, September 6, 2025

2:30 PM - 3:30 PM US PT

Location: 2020

Live animal exhibits serve to capture visitor attention and increase engagement across our field, yet there is scant support for tackling the particular challenges associated with their care. Come meet with husbandry professionals from across the spectrum of science centers and develop an agenda for the new Museum Animal Resource Community of Practice at ASTC.
