For some of us Spring has started to show signs of arrival, and for others, Spring will arrive soon. (Yes, it really will!)
Each Spring I like to share this interview with a certified wildlife rehabber. It’s important to have the right information at hand when we, or our children, find what appears to be an abandoned or injured animal.
Here are some related links, too. The first one has some good lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school students.
