Great place to see Florida’s real nature. See all of the rehabilitated animals.

Found a injured baby bird, called all around central Florida and this was the only place that would take it. Call ahead to arrange drop off. Wish I had gone when they were open to the public as it looks like a wonderful walk though.

I brought an orphaned baby rabbit to Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge, and the office manager was very cordial. I learned a lot about what they do. She was well prepped to receive the little guy, and I felt I had left it in good hands.

Thank you so much for helping out Mr. Wiggles after suffering a cat bite. Everyone was so supportive and kind from the moment I called to the moment I dropped him off at the front office. I used to volunteer at the Wildlife Center when I lived in Santa Barbara, CA, and I’m happy to see this beautiful open space is filled with a loving staff, clean facilities and tons of wild cuties. ❣️

I found baby squirrels will I be able to bring them in?

Yes, I brought one here. They take very good care of them. As you already know, just make sure the babies have truly been abandoned by the mother.

I found a baby bird in the middle of the street, it’s like the size of my hand and looks like a baby crow, what do I have to do to keep him healthy?? Until I can take him to the animal rescue center??

I would put him in a box so he can't get out and keep it in a dark quiet place until you can bring it in tomorrow.

There is a chance they will. When I was stopping by someone had dropped off an injured bunny and they seemed to be ok with taking it. I can't say yes for sure but it's worth a try.
