Learn more about what goes on behind the scenes and experience how volunteers rehabilitate hundreds of injured and orphaned wild animals from our community each year when the Ohlone Human Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center holds its annual “Open House.” The Saturday, October 13 event will feature live animal education talks, tours, and nature crafts that all ages can enjoy, such as rock painting, nature journal making, and planting flowers in our butterfly garden. We will also have Sulphur Creek Nature Center on-site with their amazing educational animals. Help our wild patients by bringing a donation to the Open House: bagged garden soil, small and large trash bags, Kleenex, canned dog food, bleach, laundry soap, paper towels, toilet paper, medium and large latex gloves, and Home Depot gift cards. If you have found an injured or orphaned wild animal do not feed it; all wildlife has special diets. Do not send an email to report an injured or orphaned wild animal, call (510) 797-9449. Before you bring it to the wildlife center place the animal in a box with a paper towel on the bottom. Put the box in a quiet, stress-free area away from noise, pets, and children. To learn more about the Ohlone Human Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, visit www.ohlonehumanesociety.org.
