Coral Springs Nature Center And Wildlife Hospital Inc.dba: Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital
The Coral Springs Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital; DBA Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital (SNC) is a vital 501c3 organization serving South Florida.
We are a volunteer-driven organization, founded in 1995 by a dedicated group of volunteers committed to helping wildlife.
Our mission is twofold:
*To rehabilitate injured, sick, and orphaned wild, native animals and return them to their natural habitat. We also maintain habitats for animals that cannot be released due to their injuries or non-native status.
*To provide environmental education to students and adults virtually, as well as through outreach programs and in-house field trips for schools, scouts, civic groups.
The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. It also changed the way in which we bring environmental education to schools. Our most popular program, Meet Your Wildlife Friends, has been successfully adapted to a virtual medium.
