Wildlife Rehabilitation
The purpose of Brukner Nature Center’s wildlife rehabilitation program is to educate people regarding the natural history of Ohio’s wildlife, to offer help and advice when wildlife and people conflict, and to care for, rehabilitate, and release native Ohio wildlife expected to survive in the natural environment.
Brukner Nature Center accepts many of Ohio’s orphaned and injured native Ohio Wildlife and can offer advice for those we do not. If you find a wild animal, please call us at: 937-698-6493 for advice before you act.
We Need Your Help!
Brukner Nature Center’s Wildlife Rehab Unit receives no tax dollars but is supported primarily through donations by caring individuals. Help us help wildlife by sending a contribution, becoming a member, or volunteering your time.
