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 .
