Dr. Golden or an associate from the CARE party periodically provide lectures and seminars at local schools to the children.  Although the subjects vary, the most frequently requested subjects are how to deal with baby wildlife found injured or orphaned in the spring and how the individual can help battle global warming.  Although unpaid for this work, Dr. Golden previously received a modest grant to hire a speaker for these activities.

Since 2006, annual fundraisers have been held to raise a total of $20,000 to fund guest expert lecturers to visit the local schools.  It is envisioned that the fund, once established, will be self-sustaining.  The focus of these lectures will be on educating the children on how they can combat global warming by local efforts.
