Celebrate 20 years of nature connection - and raise a glass to the next 20!

Join us at the Durham Armory on Friday, January 20th (7:30-10:00 PM) to celebrate two decades of nature connection. Enjoy live bluegrass music, heavy hors d’oeuvres, door prizes, animal meet-and-greets, and more as we tell the story of PWC’s journey from a small wildlife hospital to an award-winning environmental education nonprofit serving thousands each year.

Early bird tickets ($75/person) available until December 1st, when general admission will become $100/person. VIP tickets ($150/person) include reserved seating at our VIP tables, plus early admission at 6:30 PM for drinks with PWC Executive Director Karen McCall and PWC founder Bobby Schopler.

Can’t make it in person? You can support the next 20 years of conservation, education, and citizen science by making a donation or purchasing 20th anniversary merchandise at the link below!

All proceeds will directly benefit Piedmont Wildlife Center’s award-winning programs to make sure we can continue educating, inspiring, and connecting people with nature for the next 20 years… and beyond!

This year, we're not only celebrating PWC's 20th anniversary. We're working to make sure the next 20 years can be even bigger, better, and filled with even more opportunities for people to connect with nature. And we can't do it without you!

On July Bonus Day (July 20th), we're celebrating our biggest donors! These Protectors of the Piedmont allow us to provide scholarships to campers in need, ensure our Ambassador Animals receive the best possible care, enable us to offer low- or no-cost programs at Title 1 schools, and keep our on-site box turtle research running.

This July Bonus Day, our partner, GlobalGiving, is offering a special opportunity to get donations of $100 and up matched! The higher the donation, the higher the match. Matching begins at 9 AM EST on Wednesday, July 20th, and will continue while funds last.

Take a look at our projects on GlobalGiving... and mark your calendars for July Bonus Day on July 20th!

Calling all past and present campers, staff, volunteers, CITs, interns, board members, and donors. We're throwing a party - and YOU are invited!

Join us on Saturday, June 25th from 4:30-7:30 PM at Leigh Farm Park for our inaugural Summer Solstice Reunion. Reunite with old friends, make new ones, and celebrate the start of summer as we eat good food, play camp games, and share our love of nature connection.

This is a potluck celebration, so bring your favorite snack, side dish, or dessert! We'll provide hamburgers and hotdogs (including vegan options) and grill them for everyone to enjoy.
