Our mission is to treat and rehabilitate sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals with the goal of releasing them back into their habitat.
Ruth Stanwood and Jean Henry started Treasure Coast Wildlife Center back to 1974 when Jean was asked by the local Audubon Society to accept phone calls about birds needing help. That first year, over 50 birds received care at Jean and Ruth’s home, paid for entirely out of their own pockets. Today Treasure Coast Wildlife Center see over 3,000 animals annually and has 120 permanent residents.As a dedicated wildlife hospital, we are continually evolving to meet the growing needs of our community and the animals we serve. Through rehabilitation, education, and community engagement, we are committed to protecting Florida’s incredible wildlife and preserving the natural beauty of our environment.
