WILDLIFE RELEASE SITE PROGRAM

Wildlife Release Site Information

Each of the over 130 species of wildlife we receive has its own unique habitat requirements that must be met in order for it to survive after release. With the rapid pace of development in Colorado, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find accessible, appropriate natural areas to use as release sites. Many of these animals simply need a place to get started, an area with suitable cover and resources where they can readjust to life in the wild before dispersing. Others need an area to call home, a place where they will establish a territory and become a functioning member of the local population. In either case, your property may help fulfill this need.

Individual property owners with appropriate habitat, who are interested in having animals released on their property for a second chance at life should fill out the release site form and email it to greenwood@estreet.com. We are always especially in need of safe and secure habitat for squirrels, raccoons, foxes, and coyotes.

Releasing animals back into the ecosystem is the final step for the thousands of animals Greenwood rehabilitates every year. Without the help of landowners who allow us to release animals on their property our efforts to save wildlife would be in vain. If you have any questions about our release program please call 303.545.5849.
