What We Do
The Treasure Coast Wildlife Center is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, dedicated to the preservation of wildlife and the conservation of natural habitats. We are not a government agency. All funding for our efforts comes from public and private grants and from concerned citizens throughout our community.
​
Our purpose is to rehabilitate and return injured, ill, and orphaned animals to the wild, as well as offer educational services to the public at large. Founded by Jean Henry and Ruth Stanwood in 1974, the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center serves Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee, and Palm Beach counties.
