LTWC to show off animals being rehabilitated
Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care’s annual open house is Aug. 7 from 10am-4pm.
This is the one time of the year people other than volunteers with the nonprofit organization are permitted on the grounds where the wild animals are rehabilitated.
The South Shore center has four bear cubs, a red-tailed hawk, 14 raccoons, six great-horned owls, five gray foxes, a bald eagle, a golden eagle and more.
Volunteers will guide visitors through the grounds and describe the reasons the various wildlife are at LTWC, and the prognosis for their eventual release back to the wild.
Information about the nonprofit’s new home under construction on Al Tahoe Boulevard will also be available.
LTWC is at 1485 Cherry Hills Circle off of Elks Club Drive in Meyers.
About that new home, is any construction going on ?
Hi Steven, thanks for your interest! We are currently completing initial construction work at the site this summer. We are in the early stages of a capital campaign to raise the remaining funds needed to complete the wildlife hospital and rehabilitation facility.
