The Northwoods Wildlife Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization focused on wildlife rehabilitation and education. Averaging 500-600 wildlife patients a year, our wildlife rehabilitators rescue, rehabilitate, and release sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife throughout the Northwoods of Wisconsin. NWC also offers guided tours of the facility throughout the year, focusing primarily on native Wisconsin bird of prey and reptile species.

Yesterday we released a trumpeter swan that we admitted as a misplaced/orphaned juvenile in August. The swan had been observed over several days around a campground/on the side of the road opposite the closest body of water. It was admitted and cared for here until we knew it could fly and defend itself from predators. We also timed the release with the current trumpeter swan migration. It was released in an area where over 70 swans have been seen passing through in the last few weeks. Have a great life, swan!

Thanks, Raymond, for offering a great pop-up program on wolverines Monday evening!

10/26/2026

We stopped Ray in the middle of what we call "morning cares" to ask him to share a bit about the program he is leading tonight.

We hope to see you for this pop-up program on wolverines (and how research is conducted on them) tonight at 6:00pm.

This is the final intern-led program this year, and Ray has a lot of great information and interactive activities to share. Hope to se you there!

It was a fun Saturday at the Center!

Enjoy these highlights (and snippets of great audience participation) from Catherine's talk on comparative skeletal anatomy yesterday.

10/25/2026

Yesterday Catherine, one of our incredible interns, offered a program on comparative skeletal anatomy - aka, bones, that engaged everyone in the audience - kids, adults, and even a “bat.”

After her talk, which was aptly themed for this spooky season, attendees constructed paper skeletons and then went on a trick-or-treat hike around the Center, with a stop to say hi to our ambassador bald eagle, Hannah, and a loop around our beautiful nature trail.

Thanks for a great morning, Catherine!

We have one more intern-led program this year.

Come learn about wolverines with Raymond tomorrow at our 6:00pm pop-up program!
