Thank you!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve reached our matching gift goal for Giving Tuesday — and we couldn’t be more excited!

With your support, the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education has raised $9,812, which has been doubled up to $5,000 thanks to our matching gift — bringing our total to $14,812! Your contributions are making a lasting impact in our mission to build meaningful connections between people and nature.

But here’s the exciting part: we’ve now set a new stretch goal of $20,000, and we’re already at 74% of that target! This stretch goal is a new aspiration to continue the momentum and enable us to keep up all of our critical work providing lifesaving care for wildlife, expanding our educational offerings, and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards.

Join us in making this Giving Tuesday unforgettable! Every dollar counts, and with your support, we can reach new heights. Thank you for your generosity!

Wildlife

For wildlife in Philadelphia, there is only one emergency room, hospital, and rehabilitation center.

Help support the work we do.

Support Our Wildlife

Nature

The Schuylkill Center is the steward of the largest privately owned wilderness in Philadelphia. We are the lungs of the city, our tall trees cleaning air and holding floodwater. The streams that originate on our property feed the Schuylkill River: the source of drinking water for our region.

Education

At the Schuylkill Center, nature is a teacher. Thousands of Philadelphia schoolchildren visit us on field trips. Help us educate tomorrow’s champions for nature.
