As many of you know, the Nature & Wildlife Center has not been able to open this summer due to safety concerns and construction delays from the Covid-19 pandemic. Like many businesses, this has caused quite a bit of financial strain for the Nature & Wildlife Center. Due to the strict (but necessary) health and safety guidelines, The Center canceled the majority of their fundraisers; in fact, the Pig Roast To Go & Online Auction is the only major fundraiser this year. All of the proceeds from the Online Auction and Pig Roast tickets will go to our general fund (operating costs & wages) for the Nature & Wildlife Center. Please take a look at the amazing auction items and place your bids! Your money is going to a great cause to help the Nature & Wildlife Center continue our education programming. From Nature Camp and school groups, to tours at the Center, we do our best to promote the conservation of and education about the flora, fauna, and lands of the Lake Erie Islands for both islanders and island visitors.
We greatly appreciate your continued support of the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center!
Be well,
Renee Fultz
