Wild animals don't belong in cages. They need to be free. Will you help?

The Need
Montana's previous shelter for orphaned and injured wildlife was inadequate and obsolete. Both the number of animals received at the shelter and the number of visitors to the shelter had risen dramatically over the years. Hundreds of people visited the shelter each day during the summer for a view of deer, antelope, elk, moose, bears, owls, bobcats, or any other wild animals that find their way to the shelter. The previous shelter missed an important opportunity to educate people about Montana's wildlife heritage.

The Purpose
Fundraising is underway to complete the new Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center adjacent to Spring Meadow Lake State Park in Helena. The new Montana Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center won't be a zoo. It will be more like a halfway house. Animals will be here to heal and grow strong so they can be released back to the wild.

A Place to Learn
The new Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center will offer invaluable educational opportunities, such as interactive interpretive displays and outdoor classrooms throughout the surrounding nature park. A field trip to the new center will be a memorable learning experience for school children. Adults will similarly enjoy visiting a center devoted to Montana's renowned wildlife.
