Helping Wildlife
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.
Adult VIP
ADULT VIP BEHIND-THE-SCENES EXPERIENCE
The Wildlife Discovery Center can provide a unique experience for you and your friends: a VIP tour of the
facility. This is an opportunity to get “behind the scenes” and interact with some of our most interesting
animals. Whether you wish to make arrangements for an intimate group, or incorporate the experience into
part of a celebration or special event, we can work with you to make it happen. Enhance a reception or
cocktail hour with interactive tours of the exhibits with trained staff. Pricing is based on the number of staff
members needed to provide support for this 90-minute experience.
Please contact Rob Carmichael, Curator, to customize your ideal VIP Behind-the-Scenes Experience at
847.810.3663.
