About Us
how it started


Starting 2021
2022 - Our First full Year
From our Founder
Hello ~
It is my honor to invite you to join me as I reflect on the first full year of operation of Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation. Our team had a lot of goals and dreams for 2022 and I am proud to share with you that we succeeded in accomplishing them.
- Our Board of Directors expanded to include two of our weekly Animal Care Assistants, beginning in 2023.
- We increased our release capacity by adding another release cage; this goal will be expanded upon again in 2023.
- We applied for and received our General Wildlife Rehabilitation permit.
- Our standard operating procedures (SOP's) have been refined to better reflect actual practice and efficiencies learned.
- Volunteer and Internship programs were written and instituted.
- We enhanced our public educational programming to include One Book One School Program.
Although this wasn't in our plan, we obtained an additional Ambassador, a woodchuck we named Elliott. He is proving to be an incredible addition to our programming and is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Having the live male/female versions of the same species allows for a much more in depth opportunity during our public education and outreach programming.
We are proud of our accomplishments, growth towards the future, and are excited to see what 2023 brings.
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow!
With Sincere Gratitude,
