Sustainability & Conservation Efforts

Wild Paws is committed to creating and maintaining a harmonious relationship between humans and the environment. As we build our animal enclosures and buildings we consider how we can utilize green energy (e.g. solar panels), maintain existing flora and fauna, and restore prairie and/or wetland areas.

We also have native landscape and food gardens to grow enriching fruits and veggies for our animals, such as pumpkins and berries for Finneas the fox! Rainwater harvesting and composting allow us to lessen our ecological footprint. The gardens serve as examples of how to sustain the environment with the help of pollinators and use non-toxic alternatives to pesticides. (Read our 5 Tips for The Perfect Pollinator Garden)

Through our future education center, we intend to provide learners of all ages and backgrounds with a deep understanding of this delicate balance and demonstrate practices that anyone can do around their own homes or communities to exist in productive harmony with nature.
