Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria and is spread by the bite of a deer tick. Not all deer ticks are infected, so not all tick bites will cause the disease. Despite this, the key thing to be aware of is prevention. Download and print prevention flyers offering great tips!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nywolf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LymeTimeFlyer.pdf\">Ticks &amp; Lyme Disease<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nywolf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LymeTimeFlyerDog.pdf\">Ticks, Lyme Disease and Dogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dress as you would for any field trip: sturdy shoes, suntan lotion, mosquito repellent, clothing for whatever the season demands.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWeather and Refund Policy\n\t\t\t\t<p>WCC programs run rain or shine unless severe storms are in the forecast. In the event of severe weather, WCC staff will contact registered guests to inform of cancellations and to reschedule. You may obtain a refund (minus a $5 processing fee) up to 72 hours prior to your scheduled program by sending an email to visit@nywolf.org or by calling (914)763-2373. Individuals that wish to reschedule with less than 72 hours of notice are not guaranteed the opportunity to switch to another event. Exceptions may be made in emergency situations.<\/p>\n<p>Sleeping with Wolves registrants must notify us at least seven days before their scheduled event.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tNo Physical Contact With Our Wolves\n\t\t\t\t<p>We don&#8217;t allow visitors to have physical contact with our wolves, as they are wild animals and here to assist with education programs. A majority of our wolves are critically endangered red wolves and Mexican gray wolves and they reside at our center as part of federal recovery programs. As such, it is critical we safeguard their wild, elusive behavior and natural wariness of humans. Visitors are able to see our ambassador wolves quite closely and clearly through a fence and photos\/videos are allowed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tService Animals and Accessibility \n\t\t\t\t<p>In most settings, the presence of a service animal will not result in a fundamental alteration. However, there are some exceptions. At the Wolf Conservation Center, service animals are restricted from the wolf exhibit areas. Wolves are the natural competitors of dogs, and the presence of a dog would be disruptive, causing the exhibit wolves to become agitated and possibly behave aggressively toward one another.<\/p>\n<p>Pets and service dogs in training are not permitted on WCC grounds.\u00a0 The Wolf Conservation Center will allow trained service animals to accompany their owners during the indoor educational portion of programs in the WCC classroom cabin only with advanced notice.\u00a0 Please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:visit@nywolf.org\">visit@nywolf.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessible Learning Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social stories are resource guides for neurodiverse individuals and are useful as pre-visit guides to new places.
