2014 Marks our 12th year as a non-profit organization. We have a lot of new things planned!

    ▪    We're looking for a new property with more land that backs up to city or state park land.
    ▪    We'll be rewriting our wildlife rehabilitation manuals and finishing a book.
    ▪    We'll be redoing the websites.
    ▪    We expect to get our wildlife rescue numbers back up. They should be over 1,000. The economy has really taken a toll on our finances.
