Their mom was hit by a car. These two came in as orphans.

This week they both went home.

Virginia Opossums are one of our most common patients — and one of the most misunderstood animals in North Carolina. They don't carry rabies. They're gentle, solitary, and when they lose their mom, they don't have long without help.

This is why we’re here. 🌿

This Saturday morning, we’re leading our first free guided birding tour at Camp T.N. Spencer Park in Concord.

One hour. A slow walk. A lot of listening. Michelle, our wildlife biology intern, will show you what’s actually out there — 99 species have been recorded at this park alone. In June, Summer Tanager sightings run 7x higher here than the regional average.

No experience needed. All are welcome.

Saturday June 6 · 8–9am · Meet at the Propst Building · Free · Pre-registration required — link in bio.

Baby season in full swing.

Squirrels, songbirds, and opossums — all in care right now. That means enclosures cleaned daily, formula messes wiped up between every feeding, and surfaces prepped around the clock. Paper towels, puppy pads, and tissues are the three things we reach for more than anything else this time of year.

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to help, this is it!

This is what garden netting does.

A black rat snake came in after being found tangled in decorative netting — completely trapped, scales damaged from the struggle to get free. He’s with us now and will be for a while.

Black rat snakes are harmless, beneficial, and common in our area. They keep rodent populations in check, want nothing to do with you and do not deserve this.

If you use bird or garden netting, please check it regularly. Wildlife-friendly alternatives exist — solid mesh, hardware cloth, row covers. The loose plastic kind catches everything that moves through your yard.

He’s in care. He’s stable. And he has a team rooting for him.

Jackie’s having a moment.

She came to us after being sold as a pet — an eastern box turtle pulled from where she belonged and kept in conditions that left her with a severe respiratory infection and lasting physical effects from improper care. She can’t be released. This is home now.

In the warmer months Jackie lives in a spacious outdoor habitat. She chomps worms. She hunts snails. She accepts the occasional strawberry with the energy of someone who has earned it.

Eastern box turtles are wild animals. They belong in the wild — and when that’s no longer possible, they deserve exactly the kind of life Jackie has here.
