Brukner Nature Center (BNC)

Brukner Nature Center is a privately funded nonprofit organization promoting the appreciation and understanding of wildlife conservation through education, preservation and rehabilitation. In 2023 almost 120,000 people visited Brukner Nature Center to enjoy a hike in the woods, a visit with our wildlife ambassadors or attend an event. We reached almost 22,000 people through our innovative educational programming, both during on-site visits and outreach events. We accepted 1,303 wild patients into our wildlife rehabilitation unit from 24 Ohio counties and successfully released over 37% of them back into the wild.
