We’re starting a new feature here at Wildwoods and that is Thank You Thursday. We want to thank all of our supporters so each week on Thursday if you’ve donated, become a member or brought us a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal in the last week, you’ll see your name on our website and Facebook page with a huge THANK YOU! This week:
For donating to Wildwoods:
Linda Booker, Jennifer Maki, Karmen Rushton, Lisa Taft, and so many others over the years, THANK YOU!
For donating specifically to our Support Our Growth Fund:
THANK YOU to Heather Norgren, Donna Beaupre, Ellen Rowell, Grace Glick, Susannah Freed (In Memory of Maye Ruth Robinson), Catheryn King, Jennifer Hansen (In Memory of Mom), Sarah Evans (In memory of David B. Conard, Jr. from his cousins Grace, Frank), and Jason Traver and one Anonymous donor, who donated this week and have all had their donations MATCHED!

A special thank you as well to Stone from Stone River Wildlife Control, committed to humane animal treatment, and hero to us at Wildwoods.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone else who has brought animals to us over the years; there are simply too many to list here.
Without this amazing community of compassionate people,
we would not be able to do what we do. Thank you so much to all those who have donated, become members, brought in animals and to everyone else who has supported us along the way including, but not limited to, our board members, the City of Duluth, St. Louis County, our local law enforcement and DNR officers, the contractors who are working so hard to help us build our new facility, our friends and family, and so many more.
