Howell Nature Center launches 'critical' 10-day fundraiser with $100,000 goal

The Howell Nature Center has launched a 10-day emergency fundraiser aiming to raise $100,000 to support operations and wildlife rehabilitation. After financial struggles in 2024, which led to program closures and staff reductions, the center temporarily halted accepting new patients but continues caring for existing animals. The nonprofit relies on donations and school field trips for revenue.
