Friends of the WNC Nature Center Charity Profile

The WNC Nature Center is a living museum of plants and animals native to the Appalachian region. Our purpose is to increase public awareness and understanding of all aspects of the natural environment of Western North Carolina through hands-on and sensory experiences.

The Nature Center offers many exciting and worthwhile programs. During the summer we open our gates to children taking part in the Wild Weeks Summer Camp series which includes the Pee Wee Camp for pre-K families, Reptiles and Amphibians, Nature Ragners, Pioneer Living, and more. Also, educational programs such as Life of a Frog, Nature at Night, Locomotion, Wildlife Tour, Snakes & Turtles, Cycles, Systems & Sunlight all offer a multitude of learning opportunities about the rich heritage of the Southern Appalachian Region.

Additionally, the WNC Nature Center is one of only 32 facilities in the country participating in the Red Wolf re-introduction program.
