25 years of connecting to nature
In celebrating our 25th anniversary milestone in 2023 we reminisced on how far we have come and gained excitement for what the next 25 years, and more, have in store.
We proudly shared stories of our past, present and future with all our supporters; those who have been with us since day one and new friends alike.

From celebratory parties, including the Blue Whale Gala, which raised $636,000, to behind-the-scenes tours and animal encounters, to volunteer events that cleaned and restored our local habitats, we treasured engaging with our donors.
We strove to learn about your passions and highlight the impact of your support on our educational programs and conservation efforts that ripple far beyond our walls and into communities and ecosystems locally and around the world.
