We strive to offer our community a unique setting where people, nature and wildlife flourish together in harmony. With 230 rich acres of rolling hills and trails, lush gardens and multiple high adventure courses all nestled alongside beautiful Pleasant Lake, Howell Nature Center attracts nature and adventure lovers from far and wide.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on community generosity to not only provide support for Howell Nature Center as a whole, but to expand our education, wildlife and camp programs so that all children can experience the wonders of nature, and all wildlife that come to our doors have the best chance at being released back to the wild. We welcome you to become a member of Howell Nature Center – a place to HEAL, GROW, and BE WILD!

Give Us Your Feedback

As a nonprofit, our membership program is vital to the Howell Nature Center’s survival. Membership fees help offset administrative & programming costs that further our mission. We value our members opinion, and are constantly looking for ways to improve our guest experience. Take our membership survey here!

 

Our membership program & daily admission help offset increases in costs associated with maintaining our Wild Wonders Wildlife Park and Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. This allows us to continue to support our mission of teaching people to be faithful caretakers of the world around us and support our wildlife ambassadors who require year-round care. We want to thank our current members for their loyalty, so we are pleased to announce that they will be grandfathered in at their current price point, and will only be charged the new increased rate when their membership is up for renewal.
