The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, a non for profit, has a two-fold mission of wildlife rehabilitation and environmental education.
Rescue
We rescue sick, injured, or orphaned native Florida wildlife.
The Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that serves Palm Beach County. We rely on the public to bring injured wildlife to our wildlife hospital. Over the years, we have rescued deer, foxes, screech owls, hawks, bald eagles, squirrels, birds, and many others. Our volunteer rescue team is sent out to rescue animals that the public can't, such as raccoons, great blue herons, bobcats, foxes, etc...
Rehab
LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER 5,200 PATIENTS COME INTO OUR HOSPITAL!
Our hospital staff works hard to take care of the many wildlife patients in our hospital. They feed the orphaned wildlife, perform examinations, administer medication, and much more. At certain times, our staff are taking care of more than 75 animals. All patients are examined upon the end of treatment and are assessed whether or not they can be released back into the wild.
Release
Our goal after rehab is to release our healthy animals back into the wild!
Educate
The Environmental Education Program at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a curriculum-based projected geared towards children and families. Through this program children and adults are given the opportunity to learn about native plant and animal species, and participate in conservation efforts to protect and preserve Florida’s wildlife, natural resources, and endangered species.

Nurture What's Wild Capital Campaign
The increasing demand for our services has led us to compelling crossroads having outgrown our current leased space. We are now at a turning point -- developing a larger campus, almost 20 acres which will nearly double our space, that we can call our own for many generations to come.
WHERE: The new property is located at Rocky Pines Road and Indiantown Road, just west of 1-95.
WHEN: We broke ground in March of 2022 and we must be moved by March 21, 2023. Construction of the buildings and structures for Phase I is well underway.
Our Wildlife Need YOU! - We Need Your Help to ensure the future of these efforts. The Nurture What's Wild Capital Campaign will allow us to build expanded rehabilitation areas for wildlife. This exciting time brings additional, meaningful ways we can partner together to build a strong foundation for generations to come.
