Wildwoods presents – Keeping Wildlife Wild
Valerie Slocum
Saturday, March 20th
10am – 11:30am
Back by popular demand! The Wildwoods “Keeping Wildlife Wild” presentation focuses on harm reduction, and offers a glimpse into the work of wildlife rehabilitators. We talk to people about the natural processes of animals, and how misunderstandings on the part of humans can result in harm to animals, or the unintentional “kidnapping” of baby animals. Wildwoods is here to help animals in need, and part of that process is to educate the public on what they can do to avoid harmful interactions that can result in injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife.
