Gifts for Local Wildlife
Join the folks at Sulphur Creek by making this a season for the animals. Once again the Giving Tree will grace our Discovery Center with ornaments hung from every limb with requests for essential items needed to continue our daily operations.  Your gift can help to save a baby squirrel, dozens of ducklings or even an orphaned barn owl.  Most of the items needed, can be found in a local general or grocery store.

To help with our Giving Tree, you can take one or two of the ornaments and purchase the listed item to put under the tree.  When you bring an item in, put your name on the ornament so it can be hung on our donor wall.  Every gift makes a difference and helps us to better care for the over 900 sick, injured and orphaned animals that come to Sulphur Creek each year.
Examples of items being requested:

• KMR Powder-12 oz. can for feeding baby squirrels and opossums
• Pedialyte - fruit flavor - for feeding baby squirrels and rabbits
