Your contribution to the renovation will directly impact our animals’ lives, enrich our visitors’ experiences, and help us create a space that fosters empathy for animals and inspires action to protect our natural world.


We are pleased to offer several naming opportunities and special recognition to Legacy League ($25,000) and Founders Circle ($10,000) donors for our campaign to reimagine the beloved Animal Room. Donors may pay all gifts and pledges over three years.


The Darien Nature Center acknowledges the significant financial support of The Darien Foundation, our Lead Donor ($50,000), to fund our new owl enclosure, the architectural concepts for the reimagined Animal Room, and additional seed money to upgrade the remaining enclosures. We are grateful for their continued partnership.

Join Us in Making Our Vision a Reality

We inspire passion and respect for the natural world through nature education, hands-on experiences with nature, and environmental action and stewardship.
