Since 1997, Nonie’s Animal Encounters has been "EDUtaining" the Florida Panhandle with live, hands-on animal presentations for all ages. Led by Nonie, a passionate educator and wildlife enthusiast, the program fosters curiosity, respect, and understanding of animals through interactive experiences.

These encounters not only teach about species adaptations and conservation but also help individuals overcome fears and dispel myths about wildlife. By touching and observing animals, learners build personal connections while exploring how these creatures live and thrive in their environments.

Perfect for schools, parties, and events, Nonie’s Ark combines education and entertainment to spark imaginations and promote wildlife conservation.
