The big Decision: Who would you like to sponsor?
We are kicking off our Sponsorship program with four of our non-releasable education animals. Contact us if there is another animal that you would like to support.
CEDAR the Screech Owl came to the Museum in 2019 from a rehabber on Long Island, NY. She had been hit by a car and suffered a permanent injury to her wing and some neurological damage that at least impacts her right feather tuft.
Cedar is a popular education animal that will often hide in plain sight with her amazing camouflage.
MOLLY STARK the Bald Eagle was struck by a tractor trailer truck in Wyoming in 2013. The accident left her unable to fly, and the Wyoming rehabilitator sent her to us. Molly was the Museum's first eagle and changed a lot of things around here!
AMELIA the Wood Turtle was an illegal pet since 1998 and was relocated to the Museum by Vermont Fish and Wildlife in 2015. She is generally considered the "cutest" of our wood turtles. Wood turtles are declining throughout their range and are listed as endangered by the IUCN. Their status is currently being reviewed by US Fish and Wildlife.
HAZEL POPPY O'POSSUM the Northern Opossum was one of the first native mammals legally held in the State of Vermont. Hazel was born in the summer of 2022, and shortly after leaving her mother she was grabbed by a dog and shaken. The resulting nervous system damage made her tail and front right leg unusable and gave her a head tic.
