These fees cover essential expenses such as animal care, program materials, transportation, and staff time, ensuring we can continue offering engaging and informative experiences. As a nonprofit, every dollar goes directly toward sustaining our mission of wildlife conservation, rehabilitation, and education. Your support allows us to reach more people, inspire stewardship, and make a lasting impact on our local wildlife and ecosystems.
