Show Notes

On this episode of “MPC: Milwaukee’s Philanthropic Community,” we sit down with representatives from Wildlife In Need, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured, sick, and orphaned native Wisconsin wildlife back into their natural habitats.

They share how Wildlife In Need responds to thousands of calls each year, cares for nearly 3,000 wild animals across more than 140 species, and operates as a volunteer-driven center that educates the public about peaceful coexistence with our wild neighbors. The discussion highlights the organization’s community education programs, including school visits and ambassador animal presentations, which help tens of thousands of people better understand wildlife and how to help them thrive.
