Executive Officer Amy Kight, who highlighted the many Mirabella
additions made to the nonprofit’s state-of-the-art facility in
the last year – including a children’s playground and custom-
build ponds for the river otter and black bear habitats – in
addition to exciting milestones ahead.
“We are beyond excited to unveil incredible new initiatives
that will help us further our mission and serve the community
on a global platform,” Kight said, alluding to the construction
of South Florida’s largest rehabilitation flight enclosure and
a yearlong veterinary internship program between Busch
Wildlife Sanctuary and Loggerhead Marinelife Center
beginning in July.
“None of this would be possible without the ongoing Jessica Duhon, Ashleigh Walters, Katherine Shattow, Nicole
support and dedication of our community,” Kight said. “Their Newsted, Heather Johnston
commitment truly drives our progress, and together, we’re Cristie Pela and Laura Ferrick
building a brighter future for our wildlife and environment.”
The Sixth Annual Wine in the Wild was the nonprofit’s most
successful year yet, raising nearly $300,000, with all proceeds
directly benefiting Busch Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission.
The organization has been a staple in the community since
established in 1983, providing lifesaving care to thousands
of sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals annually and
invaluable environmental education to residents of all ages.
