One Year Later -- WildCare Pandemic Update
|
?
 |
 |
Dear Friends,
Today marks exactly one year since the pandemic upended our operations.
This emergency forced us to adapt with resilience, creativity, and team spirit to continue providing the highest standard of care for the thousands of animals we receive in our Wildlife Hospital each year, and to connect thousands of children with nature.
I¡¯m writing to share all that you have made possible over the past 12 months, and to let you know how we are moving forward as we emerge from this crisis.
Your unfailing commitment to our mission and ongoing support has helped WildCare look ahead, more vital than ever.
The Wildlife Hospital adapts to a new reality
In 2020, WildCare¡¯s Wildlife Hospital, designated an essential service during the pandemic, treated nearly 3,500 wild patients ¡ª a 10% increase over the prior year.
This increase in patient intake happened, even as our volunteer roster was eliminated last March due to shelter in place restrictions. By summer, we could bring back only few of our onsite volunteers due to strict COVID-19 protocols.
When new restrictions were imposed this winter, we implemented a "pod" system ¡ª small, alternating groups of workers ¡ª to ensure we could continue our work and keep volunteers and staff safe.
We updated our Wildlife Hospital patient intake procedures with a new gated entry to give the public a safe way to bring us rescued animals.
Meanwhile, demand for our services continued to grow. Our Living with Wildlife Hotline 415-456-7283 saw an astonishing 16% increase in calls from across the Bay Area, the state and the country. In autumn of 2020, we admitted over 160 orphaned baby squirrels to WildCare, a nearly 50% increase over the previous year. We also admitted evacuated animals from a Napa wildlife hospital due to September¡¯s Glass Fire.
And from the beginning of December to date, 166 Pine Siskins, small migratory finches, infected with the deadly Salmonella bacteria have been brought in for care. WildCare launched a comprehensive advocacy campaign to alert people to the deadly outbreak of salmonellosis, and inform them of the need to remove and sanitize bird feeders immediately to protect songbirds.
Why did we see this increase in the need for our programs? With so many people working from home, more people have noticed the impacts of human activity on our wild neighbors. They¡¯ve brought in sick and injured songbirds, orphaned skunks, emaciated raptors, and many other wildlife patients, knowing these animals will receive quality care in a safe, secure environment.
We couldn¡¯t have done it without our volunteers
Despite being forced to cancel our onsite volunteer and internship programs for much of the year, our team of offsite volunteers actually grew!
Over 200 caring members of the WildCare community stepped up to foster record numbers of orphaned wild babies in the summer and fall. These deeply committed volunteers participated in virtual Zoom checkups for our most vulnerable patients, and took online trainings as needed.
In the winter season, once it was safer to do so, we invited a limited number of highly skilled volunteers back into the Wildlife Hospital, restructuring our on-site roles to give them greater responsibilities while maintaining social distancing guidelines.
A new team of intake volunteers also allows our Living with Wildlife Hotline staff additional flexibility and the ability to focus on the most critical calls and inquiries from the public.
Virtual Nature Education: teaching by Zoom
Our Education Director and her Education team met this historic moment by pivoting successfully to 100% remote learning.
Developed with feedback from over 600 classroom teachers and parents, our popular live Nature Van and Nature Hikes programs were revamped into four engaging new 45-minute distance-learning presentations for K-6th graders featuring our Wildlife Ambassadors.
We also offered new virtual hikes through three different Marin habitats, from a Mill Valley redwood forest to the Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve's windswept grasslands.
Despite 12 weeks of school closures in the spring, we were still able to bounce back in the summer and fall with a very popular virtual wildlife summer camp, offered for free to nearly 700 children.
Our four new virtual presentations reached over 7,000 students in 2020 and the beginning of 2021. More than 40% of those students received a full or partial scholarship.
Our program's classroom teachers (and kids!) were delighted with this fun and engaging new interactive presentation. One teacher told us:
"I liked that [the program] was more than just talking "at" the students; there were polls, question time, videos, showing of pictures, so much in a short time that was just packed with information."
¡ª Renea, 5th grade teacher, Prestwood Elementary, Sonoma
Advocating for wildlife
Since the new year began, we¡¯ve successfully sounded the alarm about the lethal Salmonella outbreak affecting our songbirds.
Our new is spreading the word about the dangers to wildlife of tree trimming during nesting season, with the help of nationally-acclaimed graphic artist Michael Schwab.
We¡¯re reaching out to Bay Area residents and businesses with a message of respect for nesting birds and mammals, asking that the public refrain from pruning and trimming trees and shrubs from spring through fall, a critical time for our local wildlife. with WildCare team members Melanie Piazza and Alison Hermance, along with San Rafael arborist Jim Cairnes, discussing ways to avoid harm to nesting birds and their babies.
And the award goes to¡
The community is also recognizing the excellent work WildCare has done and continues to do during this extraordinary time: We recently received an a group of community-minded businesses and organizations headed by the Marin Independent Journal. We were honored to be one of only 12 Marin nonprofits to receive this award.
Moving forward...
As we emerge from the pandemic with a renewed sense of optimism and hope, we are delighted to share some new developments:
We¡¯ve expanded our to four new interns this spring and another four this summer, and continued with a small on-site volunteer program and a sustainable and skilled staffing structure as we once again enter wildlife baby season.
Our interns will work alongside our senior medical team and staff veterinarian to broaden and deepen their knowledge of wildlife rehabilitation techniques.
Our upcoming promises a week of nature exploration and close-up animal encounters, including behind-the-scenes videos from our Wildlife Hospital, to see how Medical Staff cares for our most memorable baby animal patients.
Our 2021 Summer Education Programs are starting to take shape as a blend of at-home activities and on-the-trail learning in small, safe groups.
And we are continuing to work towards building WildCare a new home that will provide the best possible care for local wildlife. We will have more news to share on this front in the coming months.
We couldn¡¯t have made it through this very difficult time without the generosity of friends like you, who have given your support and your ongoing commitment to our mission of helping us all live well with wildlife.
Thank you!
With gratitude and optimism for the work ahead,
Ellyn Weisel
Executive Director

Plz sign: Californians Have the Right to Know About Toxic Pesticides
We need new policies for our protection.
|
Californians deserve to know about hazardous agricultural pesticides used near their homes and workplaces. But some local officials are fighting efforts to shine a light on when and where toxic chemicals are sprayed.
This is disastrous for farmworkers and frontline communities with chronic pesticide exposure. They have among the highest rates of cancer, neurodevelopment disorders and respiratory illnesses in the country ¡ª all major risk factors for COVID-19.
Hazardous pesticides are also deadly to some of California's most imperiled wildlife, like?salmon and red-legged frogs.

Pt Reyes: We need more from PRNS Superintendent Craig Kenkel
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: For Elk <action@...>Date: Sat, Mar 13, 2021 at 9:16 AM Subject: We need more from PRNS Superintendent Craig Kenkel To: < judithrachelleg@...>
|
Dear Friends,
Thursday night, the Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS) Association hosted new Park?Superintendent, Craig Kenkel, at?an online event to introduce him?to the community.?I was hoping?that it would be a chance for Park supporters?to ask questions and make comments about how we could improve the situation in Point Reyes. But as many of us?quickly realized, the local PRNS Association?had other ideas.
Instead of using the Superintendent¡¯s?valuable time to have a heathy exchange of ideas, staff spent the first half-hour asking?Superintendent Kenkel about?his favorite food, favorite song, favorite color and other trivialities. Despite this excess of small talk, we did eventually learn?a few items of importance, listed below.?
Key Take Aways Include:
1. The?California Coastal Commission (CCC)?meeting to review National Park Service (NPS) plans for Point Reyes?will be Thursday, April 22 ¡ª you read that right, Earth Day ¡ª so please mark?your calendars to attend that CCC meeting online
2.?Superintendent Kenkel predicted?that NPS would win CCC approval for?their land management plan?and, once they?do, he expects?NPS to?finalize the legal document?featuring 20-year lease agreements with local ranchers?in ¡°early July¡±
Supporters of native wildlife and ecosystems have already submitted?tens of thousands of letters?to NPS and the Coastal Commission, and we¡¯re not stopping here.?Mr. Kenkel acknowledged that he is not a Tule Elk expert and therefore he¡¯s been relying on the advice of others for specifics, at least until he learns more. This is where we can help him.
When Mr. Kenkel spoke about?the General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) Thursday night,?he had a slip of the tongue and said?he was supportive of Alternative F ¡ª removing?ranching from PRNS ¡ª?but he quickly changed that to?Alternative B, the proposed path?to expand?ranching leases for 20 years and add new?farming in the national park. This is not why we have national parks.?
I was briefly encouraged by his accidental support of Alternative F, or as my?friend Matthew?wrote in the online comments of Mr. Kenkel,?¡°it¡¯s where your heart is.¡±?Yet I know we have to keep up the pressure on?NPS staff and CCC Commissioners if we¡¯re going to successfully compete against the pressure from cattle ranchers. We want these?decision makers to?follow their?hearts and restore and rewild Point Reyes.?I don¡¯t know if Superintendent?Kenkel is?willing to hear us out on our concerns, but I want to give him the opportunity to do so.?
Mr.?Kenkel describes himself as a ¡°consensus builder.¡± In that spirit, I?invite?him to?sit down with For Elk and other local environmental and conservation leaders?to discuss how we can protect?the Tule Elk and restore the?native ecosystem in PRNS.?
The Superintendent is new here, as is the Biden Administration in Washington, DC. This is not the time to rubber stamp the work product of the Trump years. So I¡¯ve asked Superintendent Kenkel to meet with us, hear us out, take note of the consensus that exists among thousands of Park lovers, and then proceed from there?with his eyes open.?
I will let you know how it goes.?
Thank you,
Diana, Founder of For Elk

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have contact with a sustainability office in the bay area? MFA is looking for some contacts. please see the message below. Please let me know ASAP if you know anyone. Thanks! Lisa
Greetings from MFA's research team! Thank you so much for being open to sourcing participants for our survey. The target audience for this survey is quite narrow - staff members at sustainability offices. We are trying to better understand the attitudes and interests of those drafting?and enacting sustainability plans in relation to food policy initiatives. If you have anyone in your circle working in this capacity, I would like to connect you to Kayla Redd, who is our research assistant on this joint project with Colorado State. She would need to send the link so that we can keep track of who has been asked to participate.

Did you miss WildCare's live Respect the Nest webinar on Tuesday evening? Or maybe you'd like to watch parts of it again?
The webinar was a great success, with attendees tuning in from around the Bay Area and across the country.
Panelists Melanie Piazza and Alison Hermance from WildCare, and Jim Cairnes, Arborist with the Small World Tree Company shared information about how to identify animals nesting in your bushes and trees, how WildCare treats orphaned animals in the Wildlife Hospital, how to help an animal injured in a tree trimming accident and much more.
To make the online event even more special, as we closed the event, Melanie fed three orphaned baby squirrels live on camera, giving webinar attendees the opportunity to see these babies up close.
Animals will be using your trees, bushes, shrubs and hedges as a nursery until late October.
With appreciation,
Ellyn Weisel
Executive Director

When they stole from us, they stole from kids and elderly people of Drake Bay ????
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Corcovado Foundation <info@...>Date: Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 2:12 PM Subject: When they stole from us, they stole from kids and elderly people of Drake Bay?????
Robbing the Corcovado Foundation of its only vehicle stole from the hearts of all Costa Ricans.
Costa Ricans and people around the world have collaborated to bring support to vulnerable older people, endangered sea turtles and priceless tropical forests. On March 5, a critical line was broken. The only vehicle that the Corcovado Foundation had to deliver food, carry volunteers, and ferry supplies to the many remote areas ¡ª was stolen after getting long-needed repairs in San Jose.
?
As a non-profit organization advocating for wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and community economic development, our efforts are supported by the generosity of donations and our volunteers' commitment. Our 4x4 vehicle was how we delivered your support and your love to the Costa Rican residents, both human and non-human, who call the Osa their home.?
?
The Foundation's ability to properly supply people and programs has now been severely hurt, and the schedules for reaching those in need have already been disrupted.
