Annual Campaign
We are an organization dedicated to engaging our community by sparking curiosity, nurturing understanding, and encouraging stewardship of our natural world.
We had a very busy and impactful year and engaged almost 20,000 community members, including:
Preschools, veterans, groups with special needs, K-12 classrooms, homeschoolers, colleges, first responders, senior centers, libraries, and other community partners.
Please help us continue to develop high quality nature education and experiences and provide excellent care for our 60 resident animal ambassadors.
