Wildlife Resources

If you come across wildlife that you suspect is sick, injured or orphaned, please contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator (see below). Flat Rock Brook is not licensed by the state to take or rehabilitate sick, injured or orphaned wildlife. In addition, it is a violation of Englewood City Ordinance #1953 to release animals, wild or domestic, on Flat Rock property.

• Only a licensed wildlife rehabilitator should handle or treat a wild animal. Do not attempt to handle any wildlife.

• Wild animals are not pets. It is best to leave wildlife in the wild and respect it in its natural habitat. Be aware that animals can carry diseases that are harmful to humans.

• Animals are best cared for by their parents. Although an animal may appear to be orphaned, more often than not its parents are nearby. Always leave them where they are, do not attempt to move or feed them.

Be a better steward for wildlife by gardening with native visitors in mind! Enjoy watching wildlife without disturbing natural behaviors and add in diverse plants to provide food to a variety of species. Some suggestions are available here!
