We are applying for the funding needed to build our intake clinic and animal enclosures in the hope of taking in injured and orphaned fawns and raccoons starting in spring 2010. Public Education Some harm to wildlife can be prevented through public education. CCWR will develop an extensive campaign to inform the public on the role people can play in minimizing the impact humans have on wildlife.
