Field Trip FAQ’s:
Click each question to see the answer
1. When are field trips offered?
Field trips are offered Monday-Friday 10-3 pm.
2. What should we bring with us?
Just yourselves! If you have held a donation drive, please bring those at the time of your program.
3. Will we get to pet animals?
It is our aim to have animal interaction within each program. However, we cannot guarantee participants will be able to interact directly with a dog or cat. That is based on volunteer and animal availability and the well-being of our animals. We reserve the right to stop any animal interaction at any time due to health or safety concerns.
4. Why is there a cost?
The program fee covers the expenses of resources and staff time. It also provides a small source of revenue for Forsyth Humane Society, a non-profit organization that depends on donations to operate.
