BABY BEAVER UPDATE:

November 25, 2020October 7, 2021

Back in July, we posted a video of a baby beaver, appx 4 weeks old, that was found but should have been left alone as mom was not far away. Well, that baby beaver is growing like a weed! Here are a few updated photos taken by our resident photographer, Dana Giron.

WANTED: Since the beaver cannot be released yet, if anyone could donate clippings (twigs and branches) from crabapple, apple, pear, hickory or willow trees we could sure use them for this little guy! Please call me at 330-745-2947 if you do. Thank you – Fran

REMEMBER: Please don’t be too hasty to assume a baby is an orphan. Mother is often close by and out of sight watching her babies or off looking for food.

You can find out more about the various animals that Fran helps take a look in the Learning Center here.

The Deadly Truth about Trash

Returning to the Wild

All too often I come across stories of wildlife that are euthanized, die of starvation or die in captivity due to improper care or killed by homeowners because they become a nuisance. This often happens because someone thought they could raise an orphaned animal on their own. There is so much that goes into preparing…
