Good Morning! It’s day 2 of Give BIG Green Bay 2020! Annually, the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary rehabs over 6,000 orphaned, injured and ill animals through R-PAWS (Rehabilitation Program at the Wildlife Sanctuary). Due to an increased demand for helping animals, the Wildlife Sanctuary has become the largest rehabilitation facility in the state of Wisconsin. As demand grows, so does our need for updated facilities and resources. Educating thousands of people each year, we also need to stay current on our environmental mission. In order to ensure the Wildlife Sanctuary is able to provide lasting memories and experiences for visitors for many years to come, we are asking for your help. Please consider making a donation: https://www.givebiggreenbay.org/organizations/bay-beach-wildlife-sanctuary
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! These are what we consider love stories at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary 😉 Although the goal is always 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 ➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗯 ➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲, some animals come to us and cannot go back into the wild. Here are some of our resident animals and their stories (pictures in comments): ❤️ Virginia Opossums, Donny and Marie, came to WLS in the Spring of 2019 after they had been found alone by members of the public. They were only a couple months old at the time, and opossums typically remain with their mother until about 4 months after they are born. A good rule of thumb is if the opossum is 6 inches long without the tail, they are already out on their own. With all the intense care they needed, Donny and Marie grew too fond of humans. A well-rounded diet and enrichment will help Donny and Marie live a healthy and happy life while they are with us at WLS. So stop on over and say hello to these cute critters! ❤️ Roxy, an adult female Golden Eagle, and has been with WLS since 2006. We estimate that she was born in 2005, making her 12 years old. Roxy was originally found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with a wing injury, where she was taken to the Raptor Center in St. Paul Minnesota for treatment. Unfortunately for Roxy, her wing did not fully heal resulting in her being unable to return to the wild. Fortunately though, WLS was able to give her a home!

It is still pathetic that the gb park bathrooms are closed after the parki's leave. kids should still be able to go to the park and play and use the bathroom if they have to go. not everyone lives across the st.
has it always been this way? if so i don't think i can live in gb much longer. Bellevue doesn't do this their bathrooms are open until curfew.
Any ice rinks open?
Question y are they cutting the trees down in badger park ?
Hope my friends are busy prepping for the Pep Rally, though the replay booth wins it in my book. Found this in my archives...
Hey is anyone looking for an extra person for their basketball team this year? Looking for a team to join. Thanks!
Are swim lessons canceled tonight?
I have a suggestion for Perkins Park where the old tennis courts were/still are. We were in Minneapolis and they have this awesome Futsal court. We have seen people playing at the park and a court would be a great addition for those who love soccer (futbol!)
Some shade by Zippin Pippin would be great Umbrellas?

donation drop sites are Union Congregational Church & the Ferguson Family YMCA downtown. Both locations have a display for items to be dropped off at. We would love to post a group picture on our page of your group with donations for this project. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you Green Bay Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department and Petal Pusher Floral for the beautiful floral arrangement prize from October floral trivia! Not only a nice start to a birthday weekend, it's also "puppy approved".
We really need this tree in our front yard trimmed. Branches are hanging about 4’ from the ground. I have called several times about having the city trim this beautiful tree. I’m always told that we are on the schedule for next year. Waiting 5 years now.
