Our mission is to provide a better future for wildlife through rehabilitation, education, and research.

Because a better future for wildlife is a better future for all of us, The Northwoods Wildlife Center envisions a more educated and conscientious public that will act in ways that promote healthy attitudes, actions and relationships with the wildlife with which we share our environment.

Founded in 1979, the Northwoods Wildlife Center rescues and admits hundreds of sick, orphaned or injured animals each year. Our education department provides outreach wildlife education programming and onsite education for thousands of people each year.
