Delaware Nature Society Animal Care

Organization Mission:

Delaware Nature Society's mission is to connect people and nature to create a healthy environment for all through education, conservation, and advocacy.

The mission of Delaware Nature Society is to connect people and nature to create a healthy environment for all through education, conservation, and advocacy. 

Delaware Nature Society brings educational programs to life through our Animal Ambassadors. An Animal Ambassador is an animal that lives in human care and represents its species. These ambassadors are educators, helping us teach about our wildlife neighbors. They participate in educational programs, giving visitors an up-close, unique experience. Our goal is to inspire empathy for wildlife through education and conservation. 

Supporting our Animal Ambassadors and the programs that highlight them is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact. Your gift helps provide the specialized care, enrichment, and safe habitats these animals require, while also strengthening the educational programs that share their stories. Every donation supports not only our Animal Ambassadors, but also inspires the next generation of wildlife stewards and conservationists. 

Your gift will help us do things like:

  • Support our public and school group educational programming at each of our four sites, statewide
  • Create enriching habitats to promote natural behaviors
  • Provide veterinary care and nutritious food 
  • Provide high-quality equipment for engaging, hands-on learning experiences
