 Go WILD for WILDLIFE at River Legacy Nature Center

Curnutt & Hafer  will match the FIRST $5,000 of donations during Early Giving!

Go WILD for WILDLIFE and GIVE because 

  • WILDLIFE (like turtles, snakes, squirrels, cardinals, dragonflies and ferrets) CONNECTS children and adults who visit the Nature Center to nature.
  • WILDLIFE helps people fall in love with Nature.

 

We’re WILD about YOU  because 

  • YOU CONNECT people with WILDLIFE.
  • YOU help people fall in love with nature.

 

Please GIVE during Early Giving and on North Texas Giving Day!

 

Your gifts make a difference!

• Give thousands of school children, educators and families the opportunity to visit River Legacy Nature Center for a field trip.  For many of them, it is their first walk in the woods!  

• Provide care for the 100+ animal ambassadors who call the Nature Center home. These turtles, snakes, fish, ferrets, and rabbits help children learn about their habitats, characteristics, and adaptations. 

• Bring visiting exhibits like the Bug Squad to the Nature Center. They add to our interactive Discovery Room exhibits to further engage families in environmental education and preservation.

Giving Activity

Mission

River Legacy Foundation helps people fall in love with nature! You'll DISCOVER something new each visit. Each year our naturalists and teachers guide 15,000+ school children on Field Trips. For many of these students, it is their first walk in the woods. Children go on a hike in the woods, meet animal ambassadors (ferrets, snakes, and turtles, oh my!) and explore what is living around a decomposing tree! These experiences are wonder-filled and wonderful! Your donation makes this possible. We could not do all this without you!

Needs

River Legacy needs your donation to connect children to nature with hands-on/minds-on STEM education.

We need your donation to:

- provide Field Trips for thousands of north Texas school children.

- care for the animals who delight and engage visitors.

- bring exciting visiting exhibits to the Nature Center.
