July 6, 2023: Rescuing Nature’s Treasures: The Wildlife Center of Texas Rehabilitation Program

The Houston SPCA’s Wildlife Center of Texas (WCT), one of the largest wildlife care facilities in the country, cares for more than 12,000 native Texas animals each year. In this presentation attendees will receive a glimpse of what this amazing organization does to help injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife return to their natural environments. Presenters Monica Taylor, Jean Watson, and Randolph Watson will share stories about some of the interesting cases that have entered their doors and provide tips on how people can coexist peacefully with our wild neighbors. The audience will meet some of the Center’s education ambassadors – animals that cannot be released back to the wild but provide an up-close look at some of the types of patients the Center treats. This presentation will appeal to anyone who is interested in Texas wildlife, especially to those who want to learn about the work and passion of wildlife rehabilitators.

Monica Taylor, Jean Watson, and Randolph Watson are long-time WCT volunteers who provide countless hours of care. They are also members of WCT’s outreach team and deliver educational presentations to various groups in our community. Jean and Randolph are Texas Master Naturalists™ and members of the Coastal Prairie Chapter.
