Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care’s open house is Aug. 3 from 10am-4pm.

This is the one time of the year the public is permitted on the grounds where the wild birds and animals are rehabilitated before being released back to the wild.

Nine bear cubs and oodles of other animals are being cared for. Volunteers will be on hand to guide people through the grounds and describe the reasons the various wildlife are at LTWC, and the prognosis for their eventual release back to the wild.

LTWC is at 1485 Cherry Hills Circle, off Elks Club Drive in Meyers.
