3rd

Not to bore you, but we had another really great barn owl experience this past week. Read all about it HERE!

Also this week, we were SUPER busy with our exclusion services (Humane Wildlife Management), helping people solve their conflicts with wildlife, like raccoons in attics, skunks under porches etc. - all humanely, without trapping, killing, or relocating (which is illegal in CA). Proceeds from the fees we receive go back into WildRescue!

BAY AREA: Max and Patrick have come up with a creative way to give back to wildlife - Crafting for Wildlife. It's a way for local artists and crafters to have a hand in helping wildlife - like helping to pre-build barn owl boxes, make 'booties' and 'doughnuts' for aquatic birds, or piece together surrogate parent puppets for hand raising baby animals. The creations will be shared with licensed wildlife rehabilitators in and around the Bay Area. 

The Crafting for Wildlife series is set to kick off July 30th - the Theme: Enrichment (things that can enhance the life of a captive animal while it is in rehabilitation). Patrick will give a short talk about enrichment - there will vegan organic treats to sample! Stay tuned for exact location.

If you know of a good place to hold one of these events or would like to host one yourself, please contact Max or Patrick.
