🍼 Thank you to everyone who reached out and donated goat’s milk after our post last week. ![]()

We currently have 7 fawns in our care and are expecting more to join us in the next few months. With the herds’ daily intake around 2.5 gallons, our supply goes quickly. 🤎 #communityfirst
A huge "thank you" goes out to Girl Scout Troop #40527 for creating a pollinator garden inside Wild Wonders Wildlife Park for their Bronze Award earlier this summer! 🦋![]()
![]()
This troop put together an awesome plan featuring plants that are all native to Michigan and beneficial to pollinators. 🐝 Then, after a couple days of hard work, their project was complete! 🌷 We are so thankful for our wonderful community.
As we enjoy our holiday weekend, it’s important to remember the impact our actions have on our local wildlife. Sadly after this weekend we will see an uptick in injured and orphaned wildlife in our clinic due to the impact of fireworks. Remember if you have any questions or concerns about wildlife in your area please contact our clinic helpline at (517) 548-5530. 🤎 #savethemall

Chris has been volunteering with us for a little over two years. She first came to us in the spring of 2020 when bringing a in a baby bunny for rehabilitation - she remembered hearing about the Howell Nature Center when her kids were growing up. Chris had felt a deep desire to rehabilitate wildlife, and inquired about volunteering. 🐇![]()

Since then, Chris has been volunteering with us twice a week - one day feeding our owl residents and another helping in the rehabilitation clinic. 🦉Chris has learned so much at the HNC, and being in the park is the highlight of her week! ✨![]()
