The Conservancy of Southwest Florida prepares to open new von Arx Wildlife Hospital to enhance care for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife
Region’s largest wildlife hospital is a showcase for green building technologiesOver the past week alone, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida has treated 76 animals and released 17 back into the wild. Each with its own story, these animals represent just a few of the 2,500 animals treated every year at the Conservancy in the current outdated, cramped quarters originally built to treat 600-800 animals. To expand its ability to provide the most advanced care to wildlife in Southwest Florida, the Conservancy will soon open the new von Arx Wildlife Hospital at the Nature Center in Naples.
