A Message from Hovhannes

Hello, curious learners! Asking questions is wonderful. Touching electrical equipment is not. We observe safely and ask a qualified adult to explain what we see.

Be Safe. Be Smart. Be Kind.

CURIOUS CONVERSATIONAsk. Think. Learn.

Hovhannes, what if an animal is near electrical equipment and looks like it needs help?

Your concern is valuable, but rushing toward the animal could create another emergency. Observe from a safe location and bring an adult.

Even if I really want to be a wildlife helper?

Wildlife-help network: trusted adult contacts the utility or wildlife professionals; children remain safely back.

So helping safely sometimes means not touching anything at all?

Helping is not always hands-on. Sometimes the kindest action is stepping back and bringing the right professional closer.
