Nature’s Kingdom Conservation Center is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, and education in Northeast Michigan and surrounding communities. We are federally licensed to rehabilitate migratory birds, including raptors, and state licensed to rehabilitate orphaned, injured, and debilitated native wildlife. We are also a USDA Class C licensed exhibitor.

 

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional care to wildlife, with the goal of returning rehabilitated animals to their natural habitats whenever possible. Through our work, we strive to protect wildlife, preserve natural ecosystems, and promote responsible conservation practices.

 

Our Conservation Center is home to a variety of resident educational animals, including captive-bred wildlife, owner-surrendered exotic pets, former animal ambassadors from the entertainment industry, and animals rescued from the fur trade. These remarkable animals help us connect people with the natural world, inspiring curiosity, compassion, and respect for all living creatures.

 

With our USDA exhibitor license secured, we are preparing to welcome the public in spring 2027, following completion of our visitor center. Our vision is to create an inviting, nature-centered destination where children, families, schools, and community groups can experience wildlife education through meaningful, engaging programs.

 

We are committed to providing free admission for school-age children, helping ensure that financial circumstances do not prevent young people from discovering the wonders of wildlife. Through educational exhibits, school field trips, workshops, conservation projects, and community involvement, we hope to inspire future generations to become responsible stewards of the natural world.

 

We believe conservation is a shared responsibility. By welcoming volunteers, educators, local businesses, and community partners, we seek to build a lasting center for learning, service, and appreciation of nature.

 

At Nature’s Kingdom Conservation Center, our Christian faith is the foundation of our work. We strive to serve with compassion, integrity, and respect, welcoming people from all walks of life while reflecting God’s love through the care of His creation.

 

Our vision is to inspire compassion, encourage conservation, and nurture a lifelong appreciation for wildlife—one child, one animal, and one experience at a time.
