Calusa Nature Center

Our local Nature Center is in need of your help.  It has been in this community for over 45 years and has fallen into disrepair.  It is in desperate need of renovations and updating.  We have until April to start construction of a new aviary for our injured raptors.  Most of these birds will not have homes if we do not accomplish this goal.  Please check out the links below to find out how you can help.  Whether is a financial donation or volunteering your time it is desperately needed!
