Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park recently held a grand opening and ribbon cutting for the new Felburn Wildlife Care Center. This state-of-the-art wildlife care center was funded as a Partnership in Parks project with a donation to the Friends of Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park from the Felburn Foundation which was then matched with State funds.
