Do you know that the Anita Purves Nature Center is home to several animals who were injured or orphaned in the wild? People can visit the animals at the nature center and learn about them and wildlife overall.

The animals also go into schools and other groups for education purposes. 

Starting at just $15 a month, you can adopt a turtle, snake, owl or salamander. You'll help pay for the animal's medical care, food and housing.

For more information, visit the Anita Purves Nature Center Resources online, or call the nature center at (217) 384-4062.
