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.
