It's fall! And you know what that means: changing leaves, crisp morning air, and pumpkin spice everything! Here at Piedmont Wildlife Center, we're enjoying everything fall has to offer, including the opportunity to serve our homeschool families and after-school students each week in the beautiful outdoors. Still looking for something for the kids to do during school closures? Send them to Piedmont for the day! This time of year is perfect for outdoor breaks from the classroom - and for my staff to take a break from their computers!

Did you make a bid in our Autumn Adventures Auction yet!? Time is running out to win incredible items and experiences (like “An Evening With The NC Symphony” or a one-of-a-kind painting from Art by Shalimar), all while supporting the great work the staff at Piedmont does day in and day out. We're so thrilled by the local businesses, artists, and friends who donated these items so generously, and I need help not winning them all myself!

As the days shorten outside, I look forward to spending more time inside with the staff, learning more about our organization and our future. The same goes for you - our dedicated supporters. Come on by and visit sometime! I’d love to hear why you love Piedmont and perhaps share in a pumpkin spiced candy corn (Candy Corn love does not represent the views of PWC staff, apparently only me!).

Yours in service,

Nick DiColandrea (Executive Director)
