It is time for our annual reminder that as much as we love wild animals and their babies, DeVries is NOT a licensed wildlife rehabilatiaion facility and we do not possess the proper permits to do so. Therefore, we can not accept injured or abandoned wildlife. We can, however, offer advice and contact information for wildlife rehabilitators in the area! Please do not bring a wild animal to the nature center- we are happy to help you over the phone at (989) 723-3365! The best way to help wild animals is to keep them WILD. It is illegal (not to mention dangerous to you and the animal) to possess Michigan wildlife or attempt at-home rehabilitation.

It is also fawn season which means that over the next few weeks, visitors may come across fawns on our trails and grounds. It is VERY IMPORTANT to keep dogs on leash (as our rules require year round). Does will leave their fawns for extended periods of time: this is normal and they are never too far away from their babies. Please do not disturb the fawn in any way: this includes getting close to take photos, attempting to pet it, calling to it, etc. If you see a fawn that is visibly injured, please inform our office staff.

Wellness Retreat Vendor Highlight: Birch & Lily

Amy Hansen is the founder of Birch & Lily, and her message is simple yet powerful:

Heal. Grow. Bloom.

Birch & Lily was created from Amy’s own personal transformation, her love for nature, meaningful connection, and her passion for helping women grow into the fullest version of themselves. Amy creates safe and encouraging spaces where women can reconnect with who they are, recognize their strengths, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward positive change in their lives, relationships, and careers.

As a Certified Growth Leader and Empowerment Coach, Amy is currently developing new workshops, experiences, and CEU-approved courses focused on leadership, communication, mindset, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and personal/professional growth. She hopes to begin bringing these new experiences to the community in the fall/winter.

Amy brings a joyful, uplifting energy everywhere she goes and truly loves meeting new people, hearing their stories, and creating genuine connection. If you are attending the retreat, be sure to stop by the Birch & Lily booth to say hello, ask questions, share about yourself, or simply connect for a moment.

Amy will also be offering a grounding interactive “Plant Your Intention” activity, where guests can plant seeds and reflect on what they are ready to grow in their lives this season.

Amy is so excited to be part of this Women’s Wellness Retreat, connect with the community, and spend the day surrounded by nature. 💚💛💜
