The mission of the Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge is to rescue, raise, rehabilitate, and release injured or orphaned native species wildlife and to provide education about respecting and preserving the environment through our non-releasable permanent residents, known as “educational ambassadors”.
Incorporated in June 1989, Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge serves as the largest non-profit wildlife rehabilitation facility in the Central Florida Region. We rely on the generous support of the public to help us fulfill our mission to care for the wildlife.

Closed for visitation on New Year's Day,
