Education Facility Campaign

The Foundation is accepting contributions for its building campaign, a $4.7 million campaign, to fund a new Conservation Education Facility. The building will include a technologically state-of-the-art classroom and climate-controlled storage facility that will preserve the Foundation's extensive natural history collections. It will also include a visitors’ museum that will house a newly acquired, world-class collection of exquisitely mounted birds donated by Donald Bowman and a collection of wildlife art created specifically for the Foundation by the celebrated artist Francis L. Jaques. This project, scheduled for initiation upon receipt of adequate funding, will greatly enhance the ability of the Foundation to educate students and individuals of all ages about conservation and will increase public awareness of conservation issues. Please view our Educational Facility Campaign page to learn more about this project.
