A hawk tangled in kite string 30 feet up a tree, a skunk who had fallen 10 feet into a construction pit, a baby squirrel trapped inside a wall…

Out on the frontlines, the wildlife rescue team deals with the difficult and often dangerous wildlife situations that can’t be handled by members of the public. Toronto Wildlife Centre is the only wildlife centre in Ontario with a rescue program, and currently consists of 4 expert staff members and two rescue vehicles.

Rescue staff members are trained or certified in ice rescue, swift water rescue, slope evacuation, and chemical immobilization. And of course, Toronto Wildlife Centre rescue staff has extensive experience working hands on with wildlife.
