Planned giving helps fuel Keepers of the Wild Nature Park’s mission
A gift in your will creates a foundation for the future. Our work today is important, but it is equally, if not more important, to ensure Keepers of the Wild Nature Park can continue well into the future.
From my very first visit, I have found no organization worthier of support. I fell in love with all the inhabitants – animal and human – from the first tour, especially because of how you feel the love and caring the humans have for their wonderful charges. The information and insight provided on the tour is excellent and inspired me to wander the whole park afterwards just to be able to spend more time with its patrons.
