AVWS IN THE NEWS

Sanctuary News and Updates

March has Already Been a Busy Month for AVWS

3/14/2016

 
Before baby season starts there is a lot to do at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. In addition to preparing the cages and ordering the much-needed baby supplies Aspen Valley, our Managing Director and Animal Care Director travelled all the way to the NWRA Conference for some valuable continuing education. Before their departure, there was a lot of activity here at the sanctuary!
Students building squirrel boxes
At the very beginning of the month we were one of the proud recipients of the famous squirrel boxes constructed by the elementary school students at Rama Central Public School in Washago. You can see their wildlife boxes being costructed below:
CTV Barrie: Helping Orphaned Animals

The first weekend of March included the rescue of an adult deer who had fallen through the ice. Thanks to the relatively stress-free rescue and some much needed medical care from our veterinarian, staff, and volunteers the deer was able to recover and return to the wild after a short stay at the sanctuary. The deer could not wait to return to the wild and hopefully will have learned that the ice can be dangerous at this time of year!

CTV Barrie came back in the second week of March to tour Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and share with their viewers the work that is being done here. This was part of their coverage of the work that a few wildlife rehab sanctuaries in the region do to help our native wildlife species. Also included in this series is the work done by Dr. Sheri Cox, the wildlife veterinarian who provides much of the veterinary care to our wildlife patients at the sanctuary.

The month is only half over and there is still much to do here at the sanctuary. Our Directors have since returned with much inspiration from their conference and we are all looking forward to busy season at the sanctuary.
