The Willowbrook Wildlife Center received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) federal grant program. The grant supports the design and development of a plan to provide educational and action-oriented messages that address gaps in public understanding of wildlife rehabilitation, the impact of human activities on wildlife habitat, and solutions for healthy coexistence between people and wildlife. Key deliverables include the creation of interpretive panels, curriculum-based school field trips, a classroom loan box, and a family discovery backpack. The project aims to encourage informed public action to prevent and respond appropriately to human-wildlife conflict and contribute to a sustainable future. The award period is September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2026.
