Construction is officially underway on PRWC’s new Education Center, marking an exciting and long-anticipated milestone for our organization and the community we serve.

After months of planning, approvals, and preparation, we are thrilled to see this vision begin to take shape. This new facility will expand our ability to provide impactful environmental education, connect more people with wildlife, and inspire the next generation of conservation stewards.

As progress continues, we remain actively engaged in fundraising efforts to bring this project fully to life. Community support has been instrumental in getting us to this point, and there is still an opportunity to be part of this transformational initiative. Naming opportunities within the Education Center are still available, offering a meaningful way for individuals, families, and businesses to leave a lasting legacy while supporting wildlife rehabilitation, education and conservation.

We look forward to sharing construction updates in the months ahead as the building rises on Henry Street. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far—your investment is helping create a space that will educate, inspire, and serve our community for years to come.

If you would like more information on how you can be a part of our education center, please email me at prwc.ed@prwildlife.org or call me at 941.637.3830.
