Wildlife Encounters at the Senior Center | Lincoln News

Jillian Lenz brought a wild crew to the DeWitt Senior Center—armadillos, boa constrictors, bearded dragons, and even a baby kangaroo—to spark wonder and teach respect for wildlife. Her “Our Acorn” program educates communities on conservation and safe animal interaction, proving that even intimidating creatures like Snickers the six-foot boa (who eats every two weeks) can become ambassadors for nature. Attendees got hands-on with some, stayed back from others, but all left with newfound appreciation. Lenz’s mission? Connect people to the natural world, one curious encounter at a time.
