With a mission to the preservation of wildlife and natural habitats, the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center is a not-for-profit corporation in Martin County, Florida. Funded by public and private grants, the center’s primary mission is to rehabilitate and release injured, ill, and orphaned animals back into the wild. They serve around 3000 patients per year.
The Center was founded in 1874 by Jean Henry and Ruth Stanwood after they moved to west Palm City. They started by rehabilitating 50 birds from their home with their own funds and it grew into what you can visit today.
They also pride themselves on their educational programs for the public. Over the 293-acre sanctuary that’s open to the public in order to educate the public, you can walk through and visit the permanent animals on display (those that can’t return to the wild).
With the help of their grants and the support of the public, they are always working on developing new facilities that include a new animal hospital and more public education spaces.
