We give mother nature a helping hand by raising and rehabilitating orphaned and injured wildlife so they may be released back to the wild. Our 27-acre site includes a state-of-the-art animal care facility as well as sophisticated enclosures, allowing us to care for-and successfully release-more injured and orphaned animals. Tule update: When Tule arrived at LTWC he had multiple issues.

We have been working with our Veterinarian and bear specialists around the country, and internationally that are assisting us in finding what issue he has and helping us in creating a path forward for his recovery.

Our Facility

Report

For nearly 20 years, LTWC looked for a larger, more isolated site. Previously, LTWC operated out of our founder's home and backyard, and while the-once-quiet neighborhood grew up quickly around us, our animal care needs also grew and it became clear LTWC had to move. In late 2012, longtime supporter, Barbara Harootunian, left LTWC a large donation in her will, transformative in our efforts to purchase a new property and plan a move.
