After an extremely busy summer, August allowed us a moment to catch our breath—just a little. This break gave us the opportunity to focus on exciting programming for the remainder of the year and to pursue important improvements to our facilities.
We also want to extend our gratitude to our generous supporters who helped sustain us through the summer, ensuring we have the resources to continue our vital work caring for Mississippi’s native wildlife.
Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out new programs and initiatives in the coming months! We continue to encourage everyone to take advantage of the cooler mornings and connect with nature on our two miles of hiking trails at the ARK Trails. Located at 7001 W Commerce St, Hernando MS 38632. Open daily sunrise to Sunset.
Patient Update:
This month we admitted 72 new patients into care representing 29 bird and 1 reptile species.
