Our 2024 Impact Report
Our 2024 Impact
A Growing Impact in Wildlife Rehabilitation
Our second season was a busy one, with 139 animals from 10 different species receiving care through rehabilitation, referrals, or transfers to specialized centers. Our dedicated team and network of volunteers worked tirelessly to provide lifesaving treatment across 11 counties, ensuring injured and orphaned wildlife had the best chance at recovery and release.
Expanding Conservation Efforts
Beyond rehabilitation, Sleeping Bear Wildlife Fund is committed to preserving and restoring the natural habitats of Michigan’s northern lower peninsula. This year, we took a significant step forward in our conservation mission by launching two new initiatives focused on research and habitat restoration. These programs are designed to deepen our understanding of local wildlife populations and drive targeted efforts to help them thrive.
Investing in the Future of Conservation
In 2024, we proudly launched our internship program, welcoming two dedicated interns who gained hands-on experience in wildlife care, data collection, education, and research. Each intern earned college credit while actively contributing to our mission. By fostering the next generation of conservationists, we are building a stronger foundation for the protection of Michigan’s wildlife for years to come.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community, partners, and volunteers who make this work possible. Explore our 2024 Impact Report to see how together, we are making a difference!
