Building Fund for NEWRR

Help Us Build a Sanctuary for Wildlife in Need

Nature's Edge Wildlife and Reptile Rescue (NEWRR), led by founders Mario and Brandi Nickerson, has taken a huge step forward—we’ve secured a used mobile home to serve as our future Intake and Medical Building on our 10-acre property in Cleburne, Texas.

This milestone brings us closer than ever to fulfilling Brandi’s 25+ year dream: creating a full-scale wildlife rehabilitation and education center dedicated to helping injured, orphaned, and displaced native wildlife.

But our work is far from over—and we can’t do it without your help.

What’s Next:

Our vision includes:

🦅 Bird of prey flight pens

🦊 Enclosures for mammals, reptiles, and educational ambassadors

🦨 Safe, enriching habitats for permanent residents

🐸 A welcoming space to educate the public about native wildlife.

How You Can Help:

Whether you’re able to contribute financially or with supplies or services, every donation brings us closer to opening our doors and saving more lives.

We’re currently seeking support in the following areas:

💧 Help constructing a small pond for water-dependent species

🏠 A large storage building or conex boxes

🚽 Septic system installation for the medical building

Be Part of Something Wild

This is more than just a building project—it’s the creation of a safe haven for thousands of animals each year and a hub for lifelong learning about the wildlife that calls Texas home.

Please consider supporting our mission, and share this with your friends, family, and community. Together, we can bring this dream to life.
