Wing Haven

Wing Haven is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting environmental stewardship and preserving Southern horticulture in Charlotte, North Carolina. It operates three public gardens: the Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary, the Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden, and the Student Environmental Education and Discovery (SEED) Wildlife & Children’s Garden.

History

Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary was created by Elizabeth and Edwin O. “Eddie” Clarkson beginning in 1927. The Clarksons visioned a natural oasis, which eventually grew to nearly three acres. In 1970, they formed the Wing Haven Foundation to ensure the long-term preservation and maintenance of their gardens. The foundation gifted the gardens to itself in 1971.

Mission and Activities

The mission of Wing Haven is to cultivate sanctuary in nature, environmental stewardship, and the legacy of Southern horticulture. The organization hosts over 40 programs and special events annually, attracting more than 20,000 visitors each year. Wing Haven also offers educational programs such as the Preschool Environmental Education Program (PEEPs), Nest Explorers, and Brookstone Explorers, which serve over 300 at-risk children annually.

Governance and Operations

Wing Haven is a 501(c)(3) organization, with contributions being tax-deductible. The organization relies on donations and memberships to maintain its operations and expand its educational offerings. It offers various membership benefits, including unlimited admission to the gardens and discounts on events and local retail partners. The current executive director is Barrett Ranson Shannonhouse, and the organization is governed by a board of directors.

Community Engagement

Wing Haven provides opportunities for community involvement through volunteer programs in its gardens, such as the Wing Haven Host, Rose Garden Volunteers, and Herb Garden Volunteers. The organization also participates in events like Wellness Wednesdays and educational activities for children.

Preservation and Legacy

Wing Haven continues to honor its founders' vision by fostering a love for nature and supporting local wildlife. Over 150 bird species have been documented in its gardens, reflecting its significance as a bird sanctuary. The organization's efforts contribute to the preservation of natural habitats and environmental education in the Charlotte area.
