Mission
To work within our community to create personal connections between people, animals and their shared environment. By bringing humans and animals together in educational settings, we hope to cultivate a greater appreciation for the animals with which we share this planet. We also seek to help specific animals in need through our rescue, rehabilitation, fostering and adoption activities. Our work is guided by the belief that we are a better species when we connect with other species on a personal level.

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
“To work within our community to create personal connections between people, animals and their shared environment. By bringing humans and animals together in educational settings, we hope to cultivate a greater appreciation for the animals with which we share this planet. We also seek to help specific animals in need through our rescue, rehabilitation, fostering and adoption activities.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4B
“Education & community relations - in 2020 our educational programming was significantly impacted by the covid-19 pandemic. Our school programs and summer camps had to be cancelled. State restrictions forced us to close our open hours and then operate at a limited capacity upon reopening. We developed virtual programming, and promoted our private tours. We expanded our community outreach over social media. We conducted over 400 animal programs and/or tours for schools groups, corporate groups, and private groups. Our outdoor animal exhibits are open to the public daily. Approximately 4000 visitors came to our public open hours on saturdays and sundays enjoying our indoor and outdoor exhibits with special presentations on the featured animal ambassador for the month. In 2020 the g.a.t.o.r. (get alligators tangible ownership regulation) project was launched to push for regulation of crocidilian species in the state of michigan.”
