In 2021, more than 4,000 animals were treated by Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. This is the highest number treated in recent history. Take a look at a few photos of some of our interesting wild patients throughout the year, captured by volunteer photographer Ken Forman. If you find orphaned, injured, or sick wildlife, please call Greenwood at 303-823-8455 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.

They knew for sure once its plumage entirely changed. Photo Credit: Ken Forman.Greenwood receives hundreds of ducklings, mostly mallards, each summer. Orphans are released just a short 2.5 months later. Photo Credit: Ken Forman.Two Red Fox kits came into Greenwood’s care after they were found orphaned near their deceased siblings. These kits were lucky to be saved! They did well in rehab and were released as competent little hunters this past July.
