Animals like this baby bunny don’t need much but they do need consistency!

Access to food, shelter, and a stable environment can make all the difference in whether they survive. Gardens — especially diverse ones — help provide that.

The plant sale supporting Wisconsin WildCare is one small way to support both your garden and the wildlife around you.

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all moms and caregivers, including the wild ones. 💚

When people find a baby animal alone, the instinct is often to help right away. But in most cases, a baby’s best chance of survival is with their mother. And this squirrel mom shows just how vigilant wild mothers are in caring for their young! 🐿️

Earlier this spring, she arrived at Wisconsin WildCare injured and pregnant. After recovering in a safe environment, she gave birth and nursed her babies into healthy, active little ones eager to start moving around. At her first opportunity, she carefully relocated all four of her babies from a temporary nest box to a new, bigger nest box to finish raising them.

Wildlife mothers know what they’re doing, and whenever possible, keeping families together is always the goal. 💕

While carrots often come to mind when people think of rabbits, they’re far too sugary for wild rabbits whose diets are much more varied.

In the spring and summer, wild rabbits like to eat grass, clover, dandelion greens, flowers, plantain, chickweed, nettles, and garden favorites like lettuce, kale, and pea shoots.

The seedlings in this fundraiser for Wisconsin WildCare will eventually become part of that broader ecosystem — feeding pollinators, supporting insects, and sometimes attracting curious wildlife. 🐇🌱

This little one came in recently, hungry and a bit underweight. 🐿️

In the wild, squirrels rely on a mix of seeds, nuts, and whatever else they can find —including goodies many of us grow in our gardens. Squash seeds and even the occasional tomato can be a valuable source of energy for small mammals like this one.

If you’re planting this year, you might end up feeding more than just your household.
