What is FWMA’s busiest time of year?
FWMA maintains a full schedule year round. But our most active time of the year occurs from the end of March until the end of September (Baby Season). This is the time of year when all the native critters have their babies. Many of these youngin’s arrive at our doorstep!!! For example; baby songbirds, which we receive by the hundreds, must be fed every 20 minutes from sun up to sun down. Nature’s law of what goes in must come out demands for cages to be changed continually. Baby squirrels, baby opossums, baby foxes, baby raccoons and baby deer arrive on a daily basis too, dehydrated and in need of continual 24-hour care. The phone literally rings non-stop!! ….This is a great time to volunteer!!! In 2005, w3e need an additional building to properly house our growing number of patients. We plan to renovate an old greenhouse into an animal care area … carpenters, electricians and plumbers plus all building supplies are greatly needed.
