Due to significant flooding and impassable roads in our region from Tropical Storm Helene, the WNC Nature Center is temporarily CLOSED.

All of our animals are safe and accounted for, and there is minimal damage to the habitats. However, Swannanoa River Road and the main bridge to the Nature Center were washed away, and it will take time to reopen. We will undoubtedly need your support as we rebuild.

Donations can be made at www.wildwnc.org/donate.

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 development@wildwnc.org.

Each brick costs $200. To purchase multiple bricks, please submit one order form at a time.
