The organization is divided into three separate parts. The first offers reptile rescue and rehabilitation. There's an interactive educational component where members of the group travel to schools and other functions, reptiles in hand. In an effort to reach a larger audience, the third part of the organization focuses on producing wildlife films.

This is an excerpt from their first DVD, which explores the Wolf Creed Narrows, a 125-acre wildlife area near Slippery Rock. In the video, Mr. Petridis leads viewers on a journey of discovery through streams and trails, and showcases some of the interesting creatures that live there.
