Chapter Meeting: “Coexisting with Wildlife” by Amber Leung

The February program will focus on how to coexist with wildlife in our neighborhoods and cities.  Urban wildlife is amazingly adaptable but animals often run into trouble with our traffic, high-rises, domesticated animals, and even our own homes and yards.  Trained and permitted wildlife rehabilitators have the skills and equipment to give a second chance to some of these animals. Amber will introduce the TWRC education animals, share tips on making the urban habitat a little safer for everyone, and explain how the public can help when native wildlife is orphaned or injured.

NOTE: This will be a Zoom meeting and is free and open to the public.  Advance registration is required through this link:
