As the days grow longer and the warm weather fills the air with the calls of birds, we are reminded of rebirth and resilience. At Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, we draw inspiration from these natural processes as we protect and save wildlife. We have welcomed hundreds of injured and orphaned animals into our care. To better support them, we’ve hired additional staff, extended our hours, and are providing life-saving care.
This season, we’re nearing the final stages of our expansion efforts to better meet these animals’ growing needs. However, rising material and labor costs present significant financial challenges. Despite this, our commitment to providing life-saving care remains unwavering. We’re urgently constructing a new fawn building and outdoor enclosure in response to the recent closure of a local wildlife center.
The challenges in the Tahoe Basin are daunting—increased distress calls and human-wildlife conflicts demand sustainable solutions. Our efforts extend beyond immediate care; we’re investing in new spaces and enhanced enclosures tailored to natural habitats, ensuring every animal receives the best possible chance at rehabilitation and release.
