THANK YOU
VOLUNTEERS

This week is National Volunteer Week and is an opportunity to celebrate the impact of volunteer service and the power of volunteers to come together to tackle tough challenges, and build stronger, more resilient communities. Wesselman Nature Society would not be here without our volunteers. In 2017, our volunteers logged more than 10,000 hours of service to our organization. We could not survive without the dedication of our volunteers. From reading stories, leading crafts, and flipping pancakes, to filling bird feeders, maintaining trails, and serving on our board; our volunteers fill so many roles. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

When You Find A Baby Animal

Spring has sprung which means baby season for many wild animals. We are currently fielding many calls a day from local residents about animals that they have found. Please know that Wesselman Woods Nature Center is not a licensed rehab facility, and therefore cannot receive injured or orphaned animals of any kind. It is also illegal to drop off animals in the Nature Preserve. More times than not, the best answer to what to do if you come across any type of wildlife with no obvious signs of injury or illness is to leave it alone. For more information about what to do in specific situations, visit our website.
