PROFESSIONAL CARE
WHAT WE DO
At Ferncroft Wildlife Rescue, we provide professional care to sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals so ultimately they can be returned to their natural habitat.
Provide sheltered housing, veterinary care, food, caging, pre-release pens, and public education programs.
Wildlife Rescue Gallery
Each year at Ferncroft, we spend hundreds of hours hosting wildlife rescue events and hosting programs for children and adults. Through our Wildlife Rescue Gallery, we showcase these events and programs as well as several of our rescue animals. Check out our full gallery for a look at the work that goes into wildlife rescue and education of wildlife.
Saving Wildlife One Creature At A Time
Ferncroft Wildlife Rescue offers education programs tailored for various age groups and interests. From kids to elderly, community groups to classrooms, learning how to peacefully coexist with wildlife is a topic of interest for everyone. The Ambassador Program provides an opportunity to meet an opossum and to learn about these gentle creatures. All programs can be adapted to fit your needs
