The Wildlife In Need Center (WINC) invites you to join in for Wildlife in the Park on Saturday, September 7th from 4:00 to -7:00 pm at Cory Park in Dousman.

The event is free and open to the public. Everyone can come, relax and leave the cooking to the Wildlife in Need Center! Enjoy Johnsonville Brats, hot dogs, sloppy joe’s, snacks, soda, root beer floats and sundaes that will be available for purchase. All of the funds raised at this event go to support the Wildlife In Need Center and their mission.

Ellen Munshower, The Education Coordinator, says “Wildlife in the park is a great way for community members to come and see what WINC is all about. People can stop by the park in
their own neighborhood to meet animals, have something to eat, and support a good cause!”
The Educational Animal Ambassadors will be there to help you learn fun facts about native Wisconsin wildlife. You could see Chase the Striped Skunk, Jewel the Ornate Box Turtle,
Meadow the Bullsnake, Lenny & Leu our Virgina Opossum brothers, Twiggy the Midland Painted Turtle, Evie the Eastern Fox Snake, and Acorn & Aspen the Southern Flying Squirrels.
You can also shop the gift shop with unique wildlife themed items. They have new t-shirt colors to check out too! There will be games for kids and adults.

About the Wildlife in Need Center:

The Wildlife In Need Center is a nonprofit organization located in Oconomowoc, WI that provides treatment and care for sick, injured and orphaned indigenous wildlife with the goal of releasing animals to their native habitats in the wild. Since its inception in 1994, over 67,000 animals representing more than 140 species have been brought to the center for care or medical attention.

Open 365 days a year, WINC is staffed with a small team of paid staff, over 100 year-round dedicated volunteers and is funded entirely by private donations and grants. The center works extensively with schools and community organizations to help raise awareness of the important contribution southeastern Wisconsin’s unique wildlife makes to the region.

Through WINC’s ten Educational Animal Ambassadors, coupled with media presentations including television appearances, WINC educates over 30,000 people each year about living harmoniously with wildlife. WINC also provides expert advice via phone, website and through social media about wildlife-related issues.
