Keeping Whatcom Wild: Trek of the Opossums

In late May, several juvenile opossums cared for at the WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center were released into the wild on a heavily forested private property in eastern Whatcom County. These little marsupials arrived at our wildlife center after sadly becoming orphans, and thanks to the dedication and skill of our small but mighty wildlife center staff, they were given lifesaving care and the opportunity to learn the skills needed to survive on their own.

The WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center relies on donations from people and businesses to operate. Without this support, orphaned and injured wildlife in our community would have nowhere to go.
