Caring for injured or orphaned squirrels
Some of us living in areas with a lot of wildlife wonder what to do if we find injured or orphaned animals. There are resources and animal lovers who volunteer to help injured wildlife.
Donn
a Green-Townsend is one of those animals lovers…especially squirrels.

A very cool idea for an interview and some great pics to go along with it. As one who loves those little creatures, I think this is important for people who may come across an injured squirrel. Thanks for this great piece!
Love your intro leading into the interview! And hearing Donna talk about squirrels was a wonderful throwback to undergrad. Nice Work!
