Revised 8/25/19
Wildlife release times are coordinated based on many factors including the species’ most active time of day, weather
forecast, and availability of volunteers to transport the animal among other considerations. Having the flexibility to
release at a property with relatively short notice or without having to make contact with the landowner is a benefit to
getting the animal out as soon as they are able.
I must be notified in advance of releases on my property. YES NO
Animals can be released on my property without my presence. YES NO
Would you be willing to sponsor an animal to help cover the costs of rehabilitation if released on your
property? YES NO
