Ways to Give
2024 Annual Appeal
Do you remember the fun of turning over a big stone to see what’s underneath? How about the excitement of seeing a hawk flying overhead? At the Darien Nature Center, we are working to protect nature and to make nature a part of all of our lives.
Thanks to donors like you, we have expanded our program offerings, elevated the care of our beloved animals, and maintained our building and grounds. Your continued support will allow us to continue providing these essential services to our community.
Please consider donating generously to the Annual Fund this year.
Animal Sponsorship
Sponsoring a Nature Center animal helps to care for our 20+ resident animals and is a great way to honor a loved one. All tax-deductible donations will directly fund the feeding, shelter, and veterinary care of these unique creatures.
Animal Wish List
Want another way to support our 20+ animals, contribute to our Amazon Wish List. Wish List items include necessities like bedding and food as well as enrichment toys and supplies. Thank you for your consideration.
