The Crawford Park District is dedicated to promoting conservation and preservation through education.  To reach that goal, many reptiles and amphibians are on display and are utilized in our programming.  School groups and individuals who wish to help in the care for these animals can do so through our Adopt-an-Animal program. 
The cost for an adoption is $35.
