We're suppose to have high winds next week. Baby squirrels may get blown from their nests as a result. Please use this link of a baby squirrel call. This should attract the mother squirrel to come get her babies. Turn your ringer off, it might go off at the wrong time and scare her away. https://www.facebook.com/157106350080/posts/10158149407990081/

PLEASE SHARE TO SAVE WILDLIFE! Please, please DO NOT BLEACH your pumpkins to make them last longer!! This tip is being shared around social media this season and it is NOT okay! Pumpkins are food for wildlife. If you bleach a pumpkin and set it outside, an animal will eat it and DIE a terrible death by poison. Please, please DO NOT BLEACH your pumpkins.... #savewildlife #savewildanimals #DoYourPart #makeadiffence #smallactsbigchange #VolunteerFromHome #BeSmart Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center Squirrelmender Wildlife Rehabilitation Wildlife Waystation Pasadena Humane Possum Rescue Project PossumWorld Rescue & Rehab Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research, Inc.

Looking for any injured wildlife that needs help. Staff from the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center and California Department of Fish and Wildlife standing by.

Getting the drone ready for the Bolsa Chica Wetlands burn area survey. Looking for any injured wildlife that needs help. Staff from the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center and California Department of Fish and Wildlife standing by. Kent Nerhus, Director of Drone Operations at Endemic Environmental Services called the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center last week to ask if his innovative drone program could help with finding injured wildlife from the Bolsa Chica Wetlands fire. ...What a fantastic idea, said John Villa, CFO with the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center. The infrared and zoom features of the drone will help pinpoint injured wildlife, John added. Last week, the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center’s Field Response Team traversed heavy and difficult terrain searching for wildlife possibly impacted by the fire. Fortunately, they did not encounter any wildlife in need of care. The areas where wildlife might be found is covered in thick, head high brush, which creates quite a challenge, stated Debbie McGuire, Executive Director of the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center. With Kent’s state of the art drone, we will be able to see where the wildlife are concentrated and if any need assistance, she added. Planning this encompassed meetings and gaining permission from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as the Bolsa Chica Land Trust. I can see the information gathered from the drone survey to be beneficial for the restoration of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Preserve, said John. The survey flight finally took place at 8 a.m. Wednesday, August 5th. We have many drone videos that we are still uploading and we want to share with all of you as soon as we can.. Here is a a video we took while observing the drone flight. Where we saw most of the wildlife was on the south fringe of the burn area. I see many way wildlife management and response can use this drone technology stated Debbie McGuire. The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is there for our community and the local wildlife. Every day, our dedicated staff and volunteers are prepared to help recover and care for any injured wildlife. The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is a 501c 3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of our native wildlife.
