Earthplace, the Nature Discovery Center in Westport has one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation programs in the state, which takes in hundreds of injured wild animals every year with the goal of restoring them to health and releasing them back to the wild. Over thirty domestic and non-releasable wild animals reside in the Earthplace teaching collection where they act as species ambassadors giving visitors the opportunity to view these magnificent creatures "up-close and personal".
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Program and the Animal Hall help to produce life-long animal lovers. It is this commitment to animal welfare and appreciation that we wish to celebrate with our 2nd Annual Walk for Wildlife on Sunday September 26.
