Adopt an Animal at Wye Marsh

Wye Adopt?

Your support of the Wye Marsh Adoption Program ensures our continued success in fulfilling our mission statement to be a centre of excellence for wetlands research, interpretation and education based on the principles of stewardship and the importance of environmental awareness. 

Wye Marsh’s educational ambassadors  include reptiles and birds of prey who are no longer able to survive in the wild and need our care. The Wye Marsh Adoption Program provides care and enrichment for these animals.

The Marsh Adoption Program also provides resources for staff and volunteers to continually monitor Wye Marsh’s wild bird populations as part of its stewardship mandate.
