SUMMARY:Give Local!
DESCRIPTION:April 21 and 22\, 2026 \nHosted by the Connecticut Community Foundation\, Give Local Greater Waterbury & Litchfield Hills is a 36-hour online community giving event that encourages donors to lend their support to the nonprofit organizations that work every day to make our community stronger. \nEvery dollar donated to the Conservation Center from 7 a.m. on April 21 to 7 p.m. on April 22 will support the building of our brand new aviary! \nA powerful part of White Memorial’s educational mission quite literally takes flight on the wings of our Avian Ambassadors. \nAt White Memorial Conservation Center\, two remarkable non-releasable birds of prey help us connect thousands of visitors each year to the wonder of the natural world: Zelda\, our Barred Owl\, and Irie\, our Red-tailed Hawk. Through them\, children experience their first close look at a raptor. Adults rediscover awe. Conversations about conservation become personal\, powerful\, and lasting. \nIf you’ve visited Zelda and Irie in their aviary just outside the Museum\, you’ve seen how special they are. \nBut their current home is not. \nBuilt in the 1990s\, the existing aviary is worn\, outdated\, and in urgent need of complete replacement. It no longer reflects the level of care\, respect\, and excellence these birds deserve — nor does it meet the evolving needs of the dedicated staff and volunteers who provide their daily care. \nOur Avian Ambassadors deserve more than adequate.They deserve extraordinary. \nWe have a new\, thoughtfully designed\, state-of-the-art aviary plan ready to go — one that will provide: \n\nEnhanced safety and security\nEnrichment features that support natural behaviors\nProper landscaping for a more natural habitat\nRunning water and electricity for optimal care\nSafe\, accessible space for staff and volunteers\nRoom to welcome a future Avian Ambassador\n\nThanks to the generosity of a major lead sponsor\, we are already partway there. But constructing a modern aviary — built to the highest standards — requires significant resources. \nYour gift to Give Local 2026 will help transform this vision into reality. \nWith your support\, we hope to break ground in 2026 and give Zelda and Irie the home they truly deserve — while creating a new space that will inspire generations to come. \nEvery gift matters. No donation is too small.Together\, we can build a future where conservation education continues to soar. \nThank you for helping our mission take flight. \nWatch our website www.whitememorialcc.org or read your Habitattler for more details on how you can donate or visit our personal Give Local page https://www.givelocalccf.org/organizations/white-memorial-conservation-center
