    So, how else can you help our twitchy-
    tailed friends? Another way to help
    requires knowing what to do if you find
    a baby squirrel in need. Baby squirrels
    get into trouble in any number of ways
    this time of year. For example, taking
    an unexpected tumble down a tree trunk
    in a wind storm, or getting dragged out
    of the nest by a cat, or tree trimmers’
    cutting down a tree where babies are
    bundled up snug in their nest. Whatever
    the scenario, here are steps to take before
    bringing a baby to Greenwood for spe-
    cial care. Keep in mind that, as discussed

A PUBLICATION OF GR E E N WO O D W I L D L I F E R E H A B I L I TAT I O N S A N CT U A R Y SPRING, 2006 BABY SQUIRRELS — WHAT TO DO CONTENTS Perhaps you’ve noticed that your neighborhood squirrels are acting a bit friskier 2 lately. Maybe their cute, comical, and, yes, sometimes annoying antics have recently Thoughts from Greenwood’s Board President caught your eye and left you wondering, “What has gotten into those crazy squirrels?” 3 Well, something is definitely up—babies! Nesting high up in the trees, in hollowed- out limbs or attached to limbs in large “squirrel-made” jumbles of leaves and twigs, Animal Statistics fox squirrels (our common urban-dwelling squirrels) have two breeding seasons each 4 year. The first round falls in mid-February, with babies born throughout March and Thank You, Victoria April. These kids are the “spring babies.” The second round comes a bit later in the Volunteer Opportunities year, beginning in early August and continuing through October, bringing the “fall Would You Like Greenwood babies.” As you read this newsletter, we are in the midst of spring baby season for to Visit Your School? our squirrelly neighbors.

  • 2. THOUGHT S F R O M G R E E N WO O D ’ S B OA R D P R E S I D E N T BOARD OF DIRECTORS Meghan Allen, President Soon, Greenwood’s 2006 spring baby season will begin. As the baby season descends Paul Lavell, Treasurer upon Greenwood, staff and volunteers will pick up the pace and start to rush through Brenda Kasper, Secretary the facility from one feeding to another, from an emergency admission to the flock of baby ducks swimming in the bath tub. Despite the frenzy, excitement will grow. The DIRECTORS sense of cooperation and teamwork that is alive all year will take on new dimensions. Kathleen Alt Claire Campbell During the busy spring baby season and throughout the year, Greenwood admits and Heather Johnson treats nearly 3,100 wild animals. Our patients range from avian to mammalian to Gary Steele reptilian, from feathered to furred, and from tiny neonates to full-grown adults. These Jim Williams animals are the reason for our existence and the driving force behind our success. Diane Zile Our 2005 intake statistics provide insight into the work that’s undertaken at Greenwood each year — we admitted 3,099 animals of 141 species! Between April and August, we received 77% of our birds and mammals and 100% of SANCTUARY MAILING ADDRESS our total reptile admissions. Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Sanctuary Greenwood has grown in many ways over the years. Of P.O.

In 2005, 10% of total intakes were cat-related; 6% 9am-4pm Saturday & Sunday were dog-related; and 8% were either hit by a car or found in the road. In many of these instances, the necessity for medical treatment was greatly increased. TELEPHONE 303.545.5849 Likewise, 67% of the small mammals we admitted required ‘round-the-clock foster care attention. 54% of our baby bird admissions were so young that they required extensive EMERGENCIES care in our baby bird room. Their vulnerability, because of their young age, necessitated 303.823.8455 countless hours of treatment and care. GREENWOOD STAFF What do all these statistics mean? Why are they important? To further expand on the Michal Pickett condition of rehabilitation at Greenwood and in the state of Colorado, we can—and Courtney Stelzer should—look to studies and data that have been compiled. However, an organization such as Greenwood, with a release rate of 60%, must remember that its successes are due in large part to the human aspects of our operations. WEBSITE Without dedicated staff and volunteers, these statistics would surely be different. The www.greenwoodwildlife.org quality of care and personal attention provided at Greenwood would certainly be com- promised. With staff and volunteers who are always searching for better ways to provide E-MAIL care and administer treatments, Greenwood realizes many successes. We are grateful for greenwood@estreet.com their enthusiasm and devotion to Colorado’s wildlife. As fellow wildlife lovers, we offer our thanks. Each year brings many opportunities and challenges. As the baby season approaches GIFT AND THRIFT STORE each spring, our greatest motivator is the realization that our staff and volunteers and 3013 Walnut Street many other dedicated wildlife rehabilitators in Colorado are providing an invaluable Boulder, CO 80301 service to Colorado’s wildlife and our communities. 303.245.0800 Hours: Monday through Saturday Animals of all kinds will soon occupy our cages and will silently—well, not so silently 10am-5pm —ask for our attention and our help.

With love in their hearts, they will continue Diane Cesmat our quest to serve Colorado’s wild animals. Thiya Steele Gratefully, Meghan Allen
  • 3. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) So, how else can you help our twitchy- tailed friends? Another way to help requires knowing what to do if you find a baby squirrel in need. Baby squirrels get into trouble in any number of ways this time of year. For example, taking an unexpected tumble down a tree trunk in a wind storm, or getting dragged out of the nest by a cat, or tree trimmers’ cutting down a tree where babies are bundled up snug in their nest. Whatever the scenario, here are steps to take before bringing a baby to Greenwood for spe- cial care. Keep in mind that, as discussed above, the first way to help always applies Even if you have cared for other baby If, after four hours, mom still hasn’t returned to babies, too— never feed a baby squirrel! n mammals in the past—kittens, puppies, and you have not observed any squirrel activity Improper feeding technique and diet can or even other species of wildlife—every close by, you can be fairly certain that she is be fatal.

  • 4. THA N K YO U , V I CTO R I A ! VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Written by Laura Priess While on-site volunteers are essential for Greenwood, animal care is not for everyone. Here are other ways you can help. When I think of Victoria Nykamp and Greenwood together, the word “exceptional” comes to mind.

She was one opportunity to get licensed by the Colorado Division of of the people who made volunteering at Greenwood a positive Wildlife (CDOW) and provide care for wildlife in their homes. experience for me: She was always willing to answer questions Without foster care providers, Greenwood could not properly and take the time to show me how to do any task correctly. rehabilitate animals such as orphaned baby squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons. Maintenance and Construction—Volunteers are needed to assist with construction and maintenance of our cages, buildings, and grounds. It is vital that our caging and buildings receive regular maintenance and care because of the number of patients that come to Greenwood. Transport and Rescue Team—Occasionally people find injured and/or orphaned wildlife and are unable to bring them to Greenwood. In these cases, volunteers are needed for trans- port (and, occasionally, for capture in order to transport) to our facility. Training will be provided. Release—Greenwood has a great need for volunteers to help release successfully rehabilitated patients. More importantly, we need volunteers to search for potential release sites, espe- cially for mammals. Anyone who is interested will be trained Victoria has a tireless love for Colorado’s wildlife and she has to designate appropriate sites. shown this year after year. Her forte, although she has many strong abilities, is her foster care skills.
