We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe in these unusual times! Here is a helpful guide on social distancing...
Also, just a reminder that we are still open to receive injured and orphaned wildlife. Our hotline will also continue to be available at 805-543-9453 to report wildlife in need and to answer your questions.Social distancing means avoiding large gatherings and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet) from others when possible. While we're at it, let's remember to keep it 300 feet or more for larger wildlife.

As services are limited, the National Park Service continues to urge visitors to:

Check park websites for the most up to date information regarding access.

Pack out everything you bring into a park and always practice Leave No Trace principles.

Park only in designated areas. Follow park regulations.

If you encounter a crowded trail-head or overlook, you're not practicing safe social distancing. Go elsewhere.

If waving to your friend from six feet away, you're doing it right. If you're waving while standing next to a moose, you're not.

Some people are having a hard time figuring out the social distance thing, so when in doubt ask your vulture to spread its wings for the proper distancing between humans!

It’s that time of year again! If you come across a nest of baby bunnies have no fear... they are not abandoned! Their mom only comes to the nest two times per day to feed them so as not to attract predators. If they are not injured, please leave them be and keep your pets away.

Although we are not quite done with February, we are already seeing some baby mammals come into our clinic. This Western Gray Squirrel fell from her nest and reuniting her with her family was not possible. Gray Squirrels make nests in trees and Mom will attend to the babies throughout the day and night. She will raise them for about 4 months until they are ready to survive on their own. If you need to trim trees, you are running out of time, as we are starting to see some nesting babies come in. Please check for nests of baby squirrels and birds first and we ask that you don’t trim or cut down trees from spring until early fall to avoid disturbing, injuring or killing nesting wild animals. Thank you!
