CELEBRATING
The Wildlife Discovery Center is a living museum and biological
station at historic Elawa Farm, situated alongside the Middlefork
Savanna, a 670-acre wildlife habitat in Lake Forest.
WE ARE...
...inspiring a new generation of guardians and defenders of our challenged
and endangered ecosystems.
YOU WILL BE CAPTIVATED...
...as you experience a close-up encounter with our crocodilians and other
reptiles...visit our raptors in their outdoor enclosures or witness a flight
session...or even watch our bobcat, Boris, as he explores his “natural"
eco-habitat.
SPONSOR AN ANIMAL!
Please consider an annual gift to help us care for our animals. For a
minimum contribution of $100, your name will be added to our donor/
adopter poster at the WDC. Adoption opportunities are available for
contributions of $500 or more.
WE’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE:
Our exhibits and programs provide an experience that will kindle a
lifetime bond with nature.

provide for our animals.
We welcome groups of more than eight,
but request prior arrangements be
made with the curator. Please contact
