Environmental Education Center

"Adopt" an Animal!

The Environmental Education Center at Homer Lake Forest Preserve is home to several native animals that are unable to survive in the wild. All of the animals are on display for educational purposes and cared for by our staff. By sponsoring one of our animals you can help to improve their enclosures, provide food, and support environmental education. You can sponsor an animal for yourself, your family, a group, or even as a gift. Help ensure that our animals receive the best care available!
