It is located at Sandy Pines Farm on Highway 2 West of Napanee, in Ontario, Canada. The Mandate of the facility is to help all injured and orphaned wildlife, both mammals and birds and release them back into the wild. We also give advice and assistance to property owners who are having problems with their wild animal neighbours and can offer humane alternatives to solve these conflicts. We work closely with the Napanee Humane Society. The Founder and President is Sue Meech who is licensed Provincially by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Federally by Canadian Wildlife Services to provide care and shelter for birds and mammals. In 2007 over 1,250 mammals and birds were admitted to the Centre. Most were released successfully. There are no full time staff year round, but we hire staff in the Spring for the busy season which lasts until October. We have several volunteers who help in many ways. Some help with the animals and birds that are admitted. Others help with transportation needs, and some help with the fund-raising. As of January 1st 2002 we are a Registered Charity. Tax receipts will be issued for donation over $10.00 We receive no funding from the Government. All our funds come from donations and fund-raising.
