OUR STORY
After several years of development, Animal Adventures of Western New York, Inc. (DBA Buffalo Animal Adventures) incorporated in July 2014. Formed on the idea of bringing wildlife to after school programs that lacked the resources for experiential wildlife learning, BAA began to develop their programs to include many other types of clientele.
Today, BAA celebrates its premier positioning as the leader in mobilizing wildlife and conservation education in WNY. With the continued dedication of our staff/volunteers, and several valued local partnerships, BAA can be found in WNY's local schools, senior communities, public libraries, and so much more!
