WDC HAS BECOME AN ACCREDITED BIOLOGICAL FIELD STATION
This summer , the Organization of Biological Field Stations ( OBFS ) welcomed the WDC as a new member . The mission of the OBFS closely mirrors that of the WDC ; both support research , education , and outreach programs . It is the goal of the WDC to host researchers ; expanding opportunities for graduate-level students . The Lake Forest Sailing Program and the WDC will soon partner , the former providing the use of some of boats to conduct research on Lake Michigan . Membership in the OBFS will increase the WDC ’ s opportunities to interface with many like-minded organizations worldwide . Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more updates and ways to become involved !
HELPING INJURED OR ORPHANED WILDLIFE
If you have found a seemingly orphaned animal , or an injured animal that is not in imminent danger , before taking any action , contact The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Northeastern Office at 847.608.3100 . Many young animals might seem orphaned when the parent is merely nearby , but out of sight . If it is necessary to rescue an injured animal , do not attempt to give it food or water without first obtaining guidance from the IDNR or other qualified expert .
