Wildlife Center Celebrates its 10th Anniversary with a “Walk on the Wild

Sideâ€

 

 

 

When: May 3, 2003Where: 3027 Penitencia Creek Road

(a few blocks east off Capital Ave. near Berryessa)

San Jose, CA 95132

San Jose, CA – The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (WCSV) is proud to

announce its 10th anniversary! In celebration of this occasion, you and your

family and friends are invited to join the Center’s staff and volunteers for

an afternoon of fun, discovery, and a chance to “Walk on the Wild Side.â€

This event will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2003 from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at

the WCSV’s Penitencia Creek Park location. Educational and informational

booths will provide information on everything from what you do if you find an

injured bird in your back yard, to an up-close and personal look at what happens

behind the scenes during the wildlife rehabilitation process. One of the

Center’s objectives is educational outreach, to help educate our communities

about wildlife. Have you ever seen a barn owl?

Are you curious about where baby opossums sleep?

There will be four scheduled educational presentations featuring many live

non-releasable North American species, such as animals such as an opossum,

porcupine, barn owl and more. As well as our various booths and educational

events, there will also be lots of fun activities for both adults and kids

alike, a raffle, refreshments, as well as great merchandise and wildlife-related

goodies to purchase. The event is free of charge, however, we are grateful for

donations of our most frequently used supplies such as paper towels, unscented

facial tissue, Feline Maintenance Science Diet (dry), Purina Cat Chow, and pedal

garbage cans. The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley is an independent, nonprofit

organization established in 1993. WCSV is the largest wildlife rehabilitation

center in Santa Clara County, and has provided high quality care and

rehabilitation for over 45,000 local injured, sick and orphaned birds and

mammals since its inception. For more information contact WCSV’s Director,

Janet Alexander, at the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley, 3027 Penitencia Creek

Road, San Jose. Telephone: (408) 928-5850. Website: www.wcsv.org.
