Community Wildlife Safety with Raven Ridge

Have you ever come across an injured raccoon? Have you ever encountered a woodchuck caught in a trap? Raven Ridge Wildlife Center (https://ravenridgewildlifecenter.org/) is an organization here to help in these situations and others like them. Learn what Raven Ridge does and what you can do if you find a wild animal in distress in order to keep both yourself and the animal as safe and healthy as possible.

At this program, Raven Ridge Wildlife Center staff will cover:

• A deep dive into the field of wildlife rehabilitation
• How to safely handle and transport injured wildlife
• How to determine if an animal truly needs help (and when it's best to leave it alone)
• What to do if you find baby animals—and when the parent is likely just out of sight
• Best practices for human-wildlife interactions

NOTE: This program discusses sensitive topics that young audiences may find upsetting. Adult attendees only.

No animal ambassadors will be present at this program.
