Wildlife Help
Report
From a safe distance, take a photo of the animal in distress. This will allow us to deduce important information such as species, age, and the animal's condition. It is very important to remain with the animal once you have taken the photos. This will ensure the animal does not wander off or have any more harm come to it.
Education Programs
Report
Our program curriculum is developed by professional educators and is designed for specific age groups. This allows us to provide participants with an engaging presentation with age-appropriate material specially designed for them. We offer these programs for schools, libraries, summer camps, scout troops, birthday parties and more!
Meet Our Ambassadors
Report
Volunteers for Wildlife's center is the permanent home for 25 wildlife ambassadors with disabilities that prevent their release to the wild. These animal ambassadors are an integral part of our educational programming and help us to inspire the public to love and protect our native species. Marcus was admitted to our hospital in 2003 after he unfortunately became entangled in fishing line at a marina.
