Join us to escape light and noise pollution!  Most of us can only see a fraction of the stars in the night sky and live in areas where wildlife sightings are rare due to development.  The sounds of nature have been drowned out by roads, human activity, and the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

In a place not far from home, only 40 miles from Baltimore you could soon be able to see a dark night sky full of stars while being surrounded by the enchanting sights and sounds of local wildlife species.  Located on a beautiful 20 acre protected wildlife area nestled between the Deer Creek and Susquehanna valleys in Harford County, Maryland we hope to do just that.

The Susquehannock Wildlife Center, a place we hope will become a local epicenter for wildlife education, conservation, rescue, and research, is currently under construction but we have been actively completing key elements that provide unique wildlife and outdoor experiences for the community.  Riding the momentum of our recently unveiled and wildly successful outdoor movie amphitheater earlier this fall we hope the stargazing and wildlife viewing platform will unlock new opportunities for the public to see wildlife as well the wonders of our earth and beyond, like never before.

The platform will be constructed using volunteer labor being provided by local contractors and craftsmen so all we need is the funding to purchase the necessary materials to properly, and safely, construct the platform.  This platform will allow visitors to gather in a centralized place with comfortable seating to sit back and view the night sky and all of the wildlife that calls the wildlife center home.  During the day the platform will allow birders, hikers, and wildlife enthusiasts a place to rest, set up there spotting scopes, and view the property from a high vantage point.

You can be a part of this incredible opportunity by making a donation today!  Every donation helps!  Invest in us so that we can continue to invest in connecting you with your local wildlife and this beautiful landscape we call home.
