The Wisconsin Center for Wildlife is Here to Help Anyone Who Cares About the Outdoors
The Wisconsin Center for Wildlife is here to help anyone who cares about the outdoors — from farmers and woodland owners to families with backyard gardens. We connect people with the knowledge and resources they need to create healthy, thriving habitats for wildlife on their land. Whether you’re looking to attract birds and pollinators, support native species or learn practical ways to reduce conflicts with animals, we provide guidance that’s easy to understand and tailored to Wisconsin’s landscapes. Our goal is to make it simple for everyone to enjoy the benefits of living alongside wildlife while helping to protect it for future generations.
Found an Injured Wild Animal?
It’s natural to want to help, but wild animals need specialized care. If you come across an animal that seems hurt or orphaned, the safest step is to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for guidance. Avoid feeding or handling the animal yourself — professionals are trained to provide the right care. Learn more about what to do by visiting the Wisconsin DNR’s “Keep Wildlife Wild” resource.
