Wildlife Heroes help raise money to support wildlife habitat restoration efforts. Every hero, including your child, can make a difference by collecting Coins for Critters. Wildlife Heroes will use the donations for projects such as planting native plants and improving wildlife habitat. Through this program children can learn about the importance of what impacts wildlife and what they can do to make a difference. Anyone can be a wildlife hero! Find more information here.
