Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 2pm: LAKE TAHOE WILDLIFE CARE is gearing up for the arrival of orphaned and injured wildlife due to the Angora Fire, which started just three miles due west of our center.  At the current time, the center is NOT in the line of the fire, but with changing winds, anything could change in the future until the fire is completely contained.
 
Donations
needed are FRUIT, including peaches, nectarines, plums, grapes, avocado and watermelon.  In addition, we would also be grateful for any monetary donations for specialized food and care of the wildlife.
 
If you see wandering wildlife, please call LTWC at 530-577-CARE (2273). Please note that the wildfire burned prime black bear areas, and any bear that escaped the area are likely disoriented and confused. Please take extra care securing your garbage and ground-floor windows and doors.
 
We appreciate your support and concern.
