Wildwoods Wildlife Rehabilitation

Your gift will save the life of a sick, injured, or orphaned wild animal

Injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife are generally left to fend for themselves. But you can help to change that. Wildwoods is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Duluth, MN, dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. 

We support wildlife from all over the Northland that are in need of emergency care, stabilize and transport animals to other facilities for more advanced care, and raise wildlife that have become orphaned (usually due to a harmful interaction with a human). Our mission is to promote the understanding, appreciation, and well-being of wildlife and the world we share through compassion, care, and community involvement. We also work to educate people on what they can do to avoid harmful interactions with wildlife that result in the animal coming to Wildwoods in the first place.  We work very hard to "Keep Wildlife Wild."

So far in 2024, we have admitted 997 animals representing 122 species from all over northern Minnesota. In addition to the animals, we have provided telephonic support and education to 1,296 people. Our telephone assistance is critical in making sure that animals are not unintentionally kidnapped (this is common with fawns and baby rabbits), but are left alone to be raised by their mothers!

Baby animal season started early this year, and our nursery costs doubled. We are preparing for the same next year, and every dollar counts.

Right now is the best time to give because your gift DOUBLES, thanks to a 1-to-1 matching grant from 

Friends of Wildwoods for the first $7,500 raised.

Our Values:

• We believe that our nature and wildlife add immeasurably to our quality of life
• We respect and value animals of all species
• We provide high quality care to all wildlife brought to us
• We establish cooperative relationships with other professionals working towards similar goals

Our Goals:

• Provide humane care for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, with the ultimate goal of return to the wild
• Provide wild animals a dignified life while in our care, and if necessary, a dignified ending to that life
• Be a resource for people who find wild animals in need
• Foster understanding and appreciation of our wild neighbors

Thank you for supporting Wildwoods so that we can in turn support the wildlife that we share space with.
