Watch an examination of a silver-haired bat brought in to the Lake Metroparks’ Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center by Lights Out Cleveland, a group of local partnering organizations working together to create awareness about the effects brightly lit buildings have on nocturnally migrating birds.
Each year, nearly 2,500 injured or orphaned animals receive first aid and rehabilitation at the Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center at Penitentiary Glen Reservation. Patients include common backyard wildlife such as rabbits, squirrels and songbirds, and uncommon species such as the peregrine falcon and bobcat. Its goal is to return healthy wildlife back to the wild. Special attention is given to animals whose populations are in decline.
Note: The Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center at Penitentiary Glen Reservation accepts animals by appointment only, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily. If you have found an injured and/or orphaned animal, please call the Wildlife Hotline at 440-256-1404 x2131.
