JUNE: WILDLIFE CENTER OF LONG ISLAND
What began as a wildlife rescue and rehab operating out of a garage in 1982 became the first professional wildlife hospital and education center on Long Island. These days, this Huntington-based nonprofit provides over 200 outreach and education programs, rehabilitates and alleviates the suffering of over 2,200 orphaned and injured wild patients, and handles around 10,000 calls to their wildlife hotline each year. It’s a tremendous service to our community that Rising Tide is honored to contribute to.
