Iowa Wildlife Center e-announcement The time is finally here! You are invited to help the new Iowa Wildlife Center (www.iowawildlifecenter.org) take flight as we introduce our organization and mission to the public. Domestic animals have veterinarians and "safe havens", right? IWC will provide these same services to native Iowa wildlife with rescue, rehabilitation and release, and provide Iowans much-needed assistance with this unique form of conservation service, plus offering skills training and environmental education.
How can you help? 1) Join IWC and friends at "In Our Hands" -- two related family events that will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and IWC's public launch. Join us in Ames Friday evening, April 23rd, for a concert by the award-winning author and musician, Douglas Wood, plus see some representatives of the wild patients we will be seeing. Then on Saturday, April 24th, enjoy spring at WildWay, the 75-acre site near Ledges State Park where we will build our wildlife hospital and education center, while participating in fun and educational activities (Wildlife CSI or a hike, anyone?). Here are two more ways you can help: 2) Pass the word at IWC's In Our Hands events and encourage your friends and family to attend and/or 3) making a donation to help defray the cost of the events. Proceeds benefit the Iowa Wildlife Center. Visit our "Events" section on the IWC homepage for complete itinerary, directions and flyer to download (and POST). Thanks so very much!
