Continuing to Build a Sanctuary for All


We’re thrilled to share the incredible growth of our wildlife rehabilitation and education center with you. Our new Sanctuary campus—now four times larger than before—was designed to better serve our community and the wildlife in our care.

Groundbreaking 2022

With construction complete and the Sanctuary now fully operational, we’ve transitioned from our Capital Campaign to focused Capital Projects that continue to strengthen and expand our impact. These projects enhance animal habitats, improve rehabilitation facilities, and create more immersive, educational experiences for visitors.

Current priorities include the development of essential rehabilitation areas, such as an aquatic animal rehabilitation complex, large and small mammal rehabilitation centers, and a specialized deer recuperation habitat.

Your support helps ensure these vital facilities become a reality—providing the best possible care for injured and orphaned wildlife and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards. Every contribution matters, and meaningful naming opportunities remain available to recognize your generosity.

Join us as we continue to Nurture What’s Wild—creating a lasting legacy of compassion, conservation, and connection to nature.
