“You’ve found an injured bird… now what?”
Find out on April 1 at the Nature Center’s Harborside Chat beginning at 6:00 p.m.
We’ve all been there: an injured bird, a broken wing, a lost baby rabbit… a wild creature in obvious distress. What do you do? Wildlife rehabilitators work full time caring for and releasing native wildlife. However, they would have far fewer patients if the general public had more knowledge about the history and behavior of our native wildlife species. April 1, Kathy Woods will share her experience and insight about her “job.” Maybe you’ll go home with knowledge on how you can help when a rehabilitator is not around.
Remember, 6:00 p.m., April 1, inside the Charlotte Van Leer Todd Education Hall, on the Nature Center campus, 1600 Delaware Avenue on the rim of Cape May Harbor. Admission is free but donations to help fund the renovation of the Todd Building are appreciated.
