Thank You to All Volunteers

A HUGE thank you to who have helped AHWF over the past 10 years. We began as a dream and have slowly grown. I think back to the all our progress...creation of the animal room and the subsequent expansions. The flight barn yard expansion and the recent flight yard enclosure, the Raccoon enclosure, the website, the social media links, all the public relation events, the summer camp, the 10 year lease of 1 acre, etc. All this was made possible through private donations and grant funders like Foley-Frischkorn Wildlife Trust (Key-Bank), International Osprey Foundation, Whittenberger Foundation, Community Trust (PSB). Now I am excited to announce the possibility of opening the Nature Center Building. We have been given the option to purchase the building at a very reasonable rate. Ask how you can make this a reality too!

Current patients

We have two flying squirrels being cared for now as well as one male raccoon. Each requires daily care which includes fresh produce...if you can help us with their care - Thank You!

Owls and Garage Sale

These little Saw-Whet Owls are such a delight! Their silent flight, nocturnal abilities and tenacity...in an effort to help us fund their nutritional needs (as well as other patients) we must have occasional fundraisers. Saturday May 28th at the Hope Memorial Community Center we will be having a 'garage sale'. Please stop by and find out more about our cause and perhaps you will find some things you must own! Thank you for the support.

Western Meadowlark

Our first patient of 2011 has arrived. A beautiful Western Meadowlark. The poor thing was so scared and shocky and the first 24 hours are the most critical. This morning our feathered friend was at its food bowl having some breakfast, so we are cautiously optimistic.
We are planning the release of our wintered over Merlin Hawk. She is finally fit enough for release. Keep your fingers crossed for wonderful weekend weather both this and next as the Highway cleanup is scheduled for the 30th.

Nuisance Animal Presentations

April 14th 6PM in Sandpoint at the East Bonner County Public Library and April 16th 1PM in Clark Fork at the Public Library I will be speaking about helpful tips on living peacefully with our native neighbors. Find out how to keep deer out of the garden, bats out of your house, raccoons from under your shed and much more. Hope to see you there.
