I was a volunteer for many months at the wildlife hospital, and this was an absolutely amazing experience. The staff, as well as the other volunteers, are very committed to the well-being of the animals, and do their best to ensure that the animals are getting the very best care. I highly recommend a visit to the Center and if you have some extra time, it's a wonderful place to volunteer. Thank you to everyone at the Sawgrass Nature Center for the amazing work you do!
SGNC does a lot of good for our community and for our wildlife. Save those newspapers, donate, volunteer, come to the gala. Tell 10 friends about Sawgrass Nature Center.
I am amazed at the work done by the staff of the Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital. Such dedication to the local wildlife is not found in too many places. They are professional, kind, and wonderful people who truly care about our local natural resources and a great organization to donate to. I love how this organization is supported by so many volunteers and volunteer organizations. I hope everyone gets to experience the Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital. Thank you all for what you do!
Coral Springs Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital is a blessing to have in Coral Springs. Their impact on the community both as a nonprofit animal-rescue organization and educational source for children and the general public alike has been phenomenal.
My visit to the Center was highly informative and enjoyable. The interest that members of Coral Springs Nature Center takes in educating and grooming volunteers generally and also through its Summer Docent program is far beyond expectation.
The staff and volunteers are dedicated, enthusiastic and very passionate about maintaining a high standard for both the Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital. I truly appreciate Coral Springs Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital as part of my community. Bravo!
I am a member of the Coral Springs Woman's Club and the Nature Center has always been a part of this club's activities. We collect supplies and food for the animals. I chair the Environment Committee and this center is a big part of our message. During Covid and after being retired, I volunteer every week at the Nature Center helping keep the grounds clean. I weeded, picked up palm fronds and just kept the place looking like my own yard.
The non profit provides summer camp for many children and they are asked weekly to do animal presentations at various schools around Broward County. This enables children to get up close and personal with the smaller animals that are not able to be released back into the wild. The goal of the Nature Center is keep the public informed of the animals in our city and take care of injured wildlife. This Center also hosts Earth Day and Orchid Fest for the residents of Coral Springs and we also have presentations at many events hosted by the City of Coral Springs.
I have volunteered in many areas at the SNC and have enjoyed all so much. They do such great work saving so many hurt and abandon wild animals every year. It's amazing how they do this all on private donations and volunteers. Our city is very lucky to have them as we are located very close to the Everglades and so have many wild birds and animals living among us. I very much advise anyone in our area to please volunteer or donate funds and supplies much needed.
I was a volunteer at the center, in the animal hospital. I cleaned cages. I saw nothing wasted and lots of hard work. I do not know how the rest of donations are spent, but in the hospital it was well used. They run sales and educational events.
As a former wild life rehabilitation person, I have nothing but respect for The Coral Springs Center & Wildlife Hospital. My son and I visited frequently with our Mom's club friends to enjoy the permanent residents that are unable to be re-released into the wild. If you have a love & understanding for the native species in our community than you can easily recognize how important their contribution to our community is! Rehabbing injured or abandoned animals is not for everyone. It's very time consuming, expensive & not an exact science. People who work with animals to help raise, rehabilitate & release them have such big hearts. I definitely suggest you bring your friends and family's to visit! And if you can, DONATE! They are most likely always in need of something & money ensures they are able to properly provide for our native species that deserve to share our community with us!
This facility is a much needed resource in our community. It provides not only a place to bring injured wildlife for rehabiliation but also educates the commmunity, both children and adults, about our environment and the animals that share our neighborhood. My children grew up attending many educational programs and when they were old enough, they volunteered. The nature center has been a wonderful place for our family and neighbors to work together, helping the animals that can not help themselves, and educating the next generation of children.
It is truly amazing to see the staff and volunteer do their work whether it be helping injured or sick wildlife or educating the public onwildlfe issues as they pertain to the environment
It has been a very heart-warming experience over the years to assist the staff and other volunteers at the nature center and wildlife hospital in helping injured native wildlife and baby wildlife. It is the greatest feeling of compassion when we release the 'recovered' animals back into the wild. I congratulate all of the other volunteers and staff who help the animals who can't help themselves.
