Founded to give wildlife a voice
TThe Frank Verney Foundation for Wildlife, Conservation, and Education was founded on the belief that people protect what they understand and love.
After more than 20 years of educating the public and caring
for wildlife, Frank Verney established the Foundation to inspire others to
become champions for our planet. Through hands-on educational programs,
conservation initiatives, and community partnerships, we connect people with
wildlife and empower them to make a lasting difference.
Guided by our three pillars, Wildlife, Conservation, and
Education, we are committed to protecting species, preserving habitats,
and inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders.
Together, we can be the voice for wildlife and create a more sustainable future.
