CARING FOR OUR PLANET
Mission Statement
"TreeHouse Wildlife Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1979 dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of native wildlife while promoting environmental awareness through education."
Who We Are
TreeHouse is situated on 8 1/2 peaceful acres between Alton and Grafton, IL in the quiet town of Dow. We provide a professional community service to people in central and southern Illinois who encounter sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife.
TreeHouse Wildlife Center does not receive government funding. Rather, we operate on the kind donations of visitors and supporters, fundraisers, grants, and education program fees.
We invite you to tour our center and learn about the work we are committed to and passionate about. See our Visit Us page for visitor hours and browse the rest of our website for information on our organization, public events, and how to get involved.
TreeHouse Wildlife Center will be closed until further notice to comply with the government guidelines to limit social interactions. Our animal care staff will still be in to care for our residents and patients. If you have an injured or orphaned animal please call the center and we will assist you.
Drive-Thru Baby Shower -
May 30th, 10am-2pm
Spend your last Saturday (hopefully) in quarantine at the TreeHouse Wildlife Center's Drive-Thru Baby Shower. Join us May 30th from 10 AM - 2 PM to celebrate our native wild babies. We will be selling Drive-Thru Baby Shower 2020 T-shirts. Please come back for early ordering information. We will have volunteers collecting donations and taking "selfies" for you. Photos will be posted on our Facebook page for you to share with friends and family. Animal Ambassadors will be out with handlers for viewing (as weather and environmental factors allow).
