The Mission of Piedmont Wildlife Center is to provide essential resources that ensure the health and welfare of native wildlife.
Wildlife is an integral part of our ecosystem and a reflection of the health of our environment. We help support wildlife and reduce the negative impact of our own species through the following programs:
Education
Goals of the education program at Piedmont Wildlife Center include:
- To increase the sense of personal connection with the natural world developed at an early age and foster for a lifetime
- To expand knowledge and awareness of native flora and fauna
- To heighten sensitivity to the needs of local wildlife
- To increase overall community awareness about the environment, the impacts of development on wildlife, and how people can help conserve wildlife habitat
- To provide opportunities for leadership at all levels, including specialized training and mentoring in field natural history, conservation biology, environmental education and nonprofit management
- To deepen sensory awareness and increased kinesthetic abilities through outdoor learning
- To cultivate the qualities that support community building which include an attitude of service, a sense of gratitude, tolerance for diversity, the ability to listen actively and speak plainly, personal responsibility and a belief in the value of peacemaking
