About Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education at Howell Nature Center
The Howell Nature Center's Wildlife Rehabilitation program celebrated 30 years in service to injured and orphaned animals in 2012. It is the largest and most comprehensive program of its kind in Michigan, and is recognized across the country for its specialization in raptors, or birds of prey. The Nature Center cares for thousands of injured and orphaned animals every year, with the bulk of those intakes coming in May, June and July.
