Dear Wildwoods Friends and Family,

Summer is ending, and that means that our busiest time of the year is coming to a close as babies are grown, nestlings have fledged and gone, and mating season has passed for the majority of mammals and birds. We’ve had an exciting time this summer, but guess that we are not alone in welcoming a cooler fall!

So far in 2023, we have worked with 662 animals representing 100 species, and have provided support to 1,727 people by taking animals they have found into care, advising them on animals they worry are in distress, and offering appropriate referrals when needed. We’ve also been very pleased to share our educational programs with local schools and Girl Scout Troops, and have a table at craft fairs, Earth Day events, and even a Science Night!

As we enter migration season, we can expect an uptick in adult raptors and migratory birds. Adult animals, especially raptors, keep us busy over the winter along with corvids, adult mammals, and others. Additionally, we will be overwintering some species including frogs, toads, snakes, turtles, and injured mammals who will need to wait until spring for release.

Thank you for everything you did to make this a successful year for the animals in our care, and for helping us to provide an oasis for these animals in need. We can only do what we do because of your commitment to this work.

Enjoy reading about some of the animals we have seen this year, and consider joining us at our very special fundraising concert featuring Charlie Parr! See inside for details.

Happy fall!

Jessica LaBumbard
Executive Director
