Compassion in Action

Thursdays | March 19th - April 23rd

Compassion in Action is a hands-on education program at Winding Branch Ranch that helps students connect empathy, responsibility, and real-world impact through humane education and experiential learning. Participants engage with rescued farm animals while exploring animal care, agriculture, and environmental awareness in an active farm sanctuary setting.

Humane Education & Animal Science

Students explore animal behavior, basic animal science, and humane care practices through guided lessons and meaningful interactions with rescued farm animals. Learning is grounded in real stories and real experiences, helping students build empathy, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how animals experience the world.

Experiential Learning & Agriculture

Through farm and garden-based activities, students learn about food systems, sustainability, and the relationship between people, animals, and the land. Hands-on projects encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of responsibility while reinforcing concepts through direct experience.

Community and Compassion

Winding Branch Ranch is an active farm animal rescue first, and animal care always comes before programming. Animals come from many different backgrounds, and students are taught how to interact safely and respectfully while learning patience, boundaries, and accountability in a real-world setting.
