Testimonials
"Without this Center our students would not have had these chances to open their minds and spirits to nature in the most up close and spectacular ways. Just listening to their conversations sparked by these opportunities I can tell you that lives are changed. Our students are passionate about the world in which they live and for which they will, one day, be responsible. It has been a priceless time for them and one that will have far-reaching benefits for many.”
- Anna Hull, Patronis Elementary Fourth Grade Teacher
"I have just returned from a field trip with my daughter's class. I was unaware of the scope of your center, and frankly, I was blown away by the entire experience. As a child, I was exposed to scores of programs, including Natures Classroom. Just that one experience at Natures Classroom as a 5th grader ignited a lifelong passion for the wilderness as well as a passion to preserve it. In closing, during the Tortoise relocation movie I CRIED! Finally, an educational facility, with passionate & educated staff. I am so thankful to you for taking this leap and building the Wilson Masterpiece. I know that our area children are now privileged in having the the opportunity for the Wilson Center and all of your amazing programs, IGNITE that spark that was sparked in me as a child."

"Thank you so much for letting us come. We had a fantastic time. When I'm there I feel so exuberant. It was very cool, and there was a lot of cool facts like turtles, trees, pine cones, birds, deer, snakes, and all of the rest of the animals there. And I really thank the guy who donated all the money. I mean if we had to pay, first, it would be alot of money because it is huge, and second, everyone wouldn't have enough money to go, and everybody needs to go, I mean it gets our brains going, and we need to learn. The biophilia is a great, no fantastic place to learn. I just thank you sooooo much. Thank you, thank you, thank you, just one more time, THANK YOU!!!"

"What a magnificent facility! You have created a shining example for the kind of setting that promotes the learning experience for which E.O. Wilson has dedicated his life. I know your generosity in sharing all of this with school children throughout the region will pay huge dividends in restoring the environmental ethic in Northwest and all of Florida so desperately needs."
- Charles Pattison, President of 1000 Friends of Florida
