At the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center (TCWC), we are here to serve as caretakers for the community’s wildlife through the combined efforts of rehabilitation and public education. At TCWC, we seek to establish compassion for nature that will assure the future of Martin County’s unique habitats, ecosystems and wildlife.
One of the greatest challenges to be faced is the sustainability of wild things and wild places. This is especially true in our expanding suburbs and urban areas, where people are rapidly losing contact with nature. Even more critical is providing factual, unbiased information to the thousands of new residents who annually make Florida their home. One way in which we can help people develop a greater sense of our relationship to the natural world is to provide a place to interpret what we experience in the outdoors.
The Treasure Coast Wildlife Center’s vision is rooted in expansion. We want to increase our ability to serve as a community resource from which both humans and wildlife can benefit. We have begun a capital campaign to build a NEW Education Center! The Wildlife Center is being designed to attract new visitors and to encourage others to return often, through dynamic exhibits and interpretive programs.
Most importantly, the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center is insurance that present and future generations of young people can learn about their natural heritage, and develop the attitudes and beliefs that are necessary for south Florida’s living and nonliving resources to be preserved.
