Peace River Wildlife Center

Exciting News! We received our construction permit on May 30, 2024 and the perimeter fencing is in place. The dirt began arriving on July 29! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for the latest updates.

PRWC has made great strides with plans for development of a new education center to be built on Henry Street in downtown Punta Gorda. Our capital campaign will cover the costs needed to construct our state-of-the-art facility. The campaign includes additional naming and sponsorship opportunities within the center and our new education building. Habitat sponsorships are still available and are listed below.

You can also be a part of this project through an engraved brick donation. You will leave a lasting legacy for at least the next 100 years with an engraved brick at the education center.

For more information, please contact us at prwc@prwildlife.org.

You can donate to our capital campaign fund by clicking here or see available naming opportunities below. Our engraved brick fundraiser has ended, but may resume after our grand opening this fall.
