On Thursday, October 4 at 7 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History will
present Stephanie Ellis, Executive Director of WILD CARE, who will speak on
the critical role of WILD CARE in rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing
back into the wild Cape Cod's injured and orphaned wildlife.

 

$5/Member. $7/Non-Member.

 

Each year  WILD CARE treats on average some 800-1400 birds, reptiles and
small mammals rescued from situations that prevent them from survival in the
wild.whether broken bones or shells from road accidents, poison, illness or
abandonment. According to WILD CARE documentation, 35% to 50% are admitted
due to injuries and problems caused directly by humans. They range from
pollution and habitat loss to ignorance and carelessness.

 

Stephanie Ellis will illustrate how WILD CARE's philosophy and medical
expertise serve each rescued animal that arrives at the emergency clinic and
how you can provide appropriate and valuable help for infant and adult
songbirds, seabirds, turtles, squirrels, rabbits and opossums in distress.

 

Join us for this highly informative program that will also provide you with
the skills to assist in saving our injured Cape Cod wildlife.
