Overview
Mission
Wildwood Farm Sanctuary and Preserve offers humane education to children, youth, and adults while advocating for improvements in the way farmed animals are viewed and treated. We also promote environmental stewardship through education and outreach that encourages people to understand the connections between food choices, agricultural practices, private land management strategies, and the preservation of remaining habitats for our native wildlife.
What it reported doing in 2025
Humane Education: Wildwood conducted tours of the sanctuary and preserve, offering education and insights into the sentience and importance of farmed animals, as well as the connections between native habitat preservation and our daily consumption choices. Through public and private events, newsletters, videos, and social media, Wildwood engaged in public outreach to encourage personal habits and industrial practices that protect animals and the planet.
