Project community: Gold Country Wildlife Rescue sees work increasing in recent years
Updated: 09:09 PDT May 12, 2022
Gold County Wildlife Rescue works year round to rehabilitate animals back into the wild, but their work has increased rapidly in recent years. The group helps animals such as baby birds, squirrels, raccoons and barn owls. They even recently released two bears back into the wild. Currently, the rescue has about 600 animals — that’s only half of what they received this year, and only part of the 5,000 expected this year alone. “Last year we received 1,000 more animals than usual. Mostly babies, and we attributed it to all the clearing of trees and shrubs as wildfire prevention,” said Sallysue Stein of Gold Country Wildlife Rescue. Stein says brush cleanups traditionally take place from November to January, but now the state has to go year-round, meaning all conservation groups have seen an increase in patient numbers. “It’s exhausting, it’s exhausting, but it’s my passion and a passion of a lot of people who work here and volunteer here,” Stein said.
