Mission

Piedmont Wildlife Center inspires lifelong connections with nature through engaging learning experiences, youth camps, wildlife education, and programs that spark curiosity, foster personal well-being and deep community relationships. Our goal is to connect or reconnect people to nature and to teach them how they can contribute in a positive way to improve their environment for humans as well as the native flora and fauna with which we share our environment.
