Buy A Brick

Your brick supports the animals you love while becoming a permanent part of the Nature Center’s pathways.

Whether you’re honoring a friend, client, family member or celebrating a special occasion, our engraved bricks make a wonderful and lasting gift.

Bricks are ordered and installed once a year in the fall. Donors will be notified when their brick has been installed. If you have any questions before ordering your brick, please email Cindy Smith, Director of Development, at [email protected].

Each brick costs $250. To purchase multiple bricks, please submit one order form at a time.
