Today marks 20 years since the day that we admitted our first animal. Since that day, we have helped over 60,000 animals!
Our first admission was a Northern Leopard Frog. The first year we admitted 142 patients during the entire year and I thought we were busy! From there, we grew and grew…this year we admitted our 142nd patient for the year on January 26th!
It’s hard to believe that in 20 years we have grown so much, but that growth is testament to the importance of wildlife rehabilitators and how few resources there truly are in northern Illinois for injured, sick and orphaned wildlife. Now we are focusing not only on continuing to help wildlife in need and the people that find those animals, but also on our succession plan to ensure that Flint Creek Wildlife survives well beyond my lifetime.
We will keep working hard to provide the best possible care for the animals we serve. Thank you all for your support over the years.
