VIRTUAL EVENT: Whether you are cozy in your pajamas or dressed to the nines with your friends, you will enjoy a 1-hour experience from the comfort of your home. Each virtual ticket includes access to the event and silent auction. 

The Howell Nature Center’s Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Education Programs are the largest of their kind in Michigan. In 2019 alone, we cared for over 4,000 injured and/or orphaned wildlife and provided over 700 outreach nature programs to children and adults throughout the region. Our Wild Wonders Wildlife Park was created as a forever home for over 70 permanently injured wildlife ambassadors who would otherwise not be able to survive in the wild.

Due to the nationwide health crisis, like many businesses, HNC has experienced tremendous financial hardship. Despite this recent challenge, we have remained resolute in meeting our mission as well as providing a safe place for our community to experience the healing power of nature. We need your help to continue being a sanctuary where wildlife, children and our community can Heal, Grow, and Be Wild!

 

YOU’RE INVITED: Please join VIRTUALLY for our first ever Wild Wonderful Twilight
