Wildlife Resources

What to do if you come across an animal that may need assistance: 

​

Many well-intentioned people want to immediately help injured or orphaned wildlife they may come across when outdoors.

 

Never put your own safety at risk trying to help an animal. Wild animals will defend themselves when approached regardless of your good intentions.

​

Please call a wildlife rehabilitator before trying to help injured wildlife. They can provide specific advise on how to proceed without you or the animal getting hurt.

​

If advised to transport the injured wildlife to a licensed rehabilitator, please do so as soon as possible.

 

If you find a baby animal or bird leave it alone and call for guidance.
