YOU’RE INVITED: Please join us for Wild Wonderful Night at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center!
The Howell Nature Center’s Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Education Programs are the largest of their kind in Michigan. In 2022, we have already cared for thousands of injured and/or orphaned wildlife, while providing an array of nature programs for children throughout the region. Our Wild Wonders Wildlife Park was created as a forever home for over 75 permanently injured wildlife ambassadors who would otherwise not be able to survive in the wild.
Working through the financial hardships of the past few years, the Howell Nature Center is hopeful to raise a record number of donations this year. Centered on compassion and dedication, our wildlife care services and nature education programs could not happen without the tremendous support the Nature Center receives from the community. Through your support, we can foster a profound appreciation for nature, while teaching our community how to live in harmony with our Michigan native wildlife. We need your help to continue being a sanctuary where wildlife, children and our community can Heal, Grow, and Be Wild!

At the beginning of August we received a HUGE donation of a digital X-Ray machine to our Clinic. This generous donation came unexpectedly, so we did not budget for converting a room to an x-ray room with lead shielding and proper electrical hookups. We are so excited for this opportunity that we are gladly sacrificing our staff restroom, which means it will also need to be gutted. This is a huge ask, but we don't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to increase the quality of care we are providing for our patients.
You can provide toys/treats, called "enrichment," for our animal ambassadors in the Wild Wonders Wildlife Park! Enrichment can includeCatnip, puzzle feeders, animal-safe paint, tasty treats, bones, and more.
Help cover the cost of feeding the many dozens of baby opossums in our clinic for a day!
Help cover the costs of our Wildlife Clinic by purchasing a week's worth of medicine for our wildlife patients.
Most hawks end up in our Wildlife Clinic after being struck by a vehicle. They often require months of intensive care, with medicine, food, and fresh bedding provided daily. This would be followed by weeks of physical therapy. You can fund the care for a single hawk for its entire stay!
