A friendly reminder with all the young wildlife in the area. If you have questions and see baby wildlife you can call the Huron Police Department before you move it. We will reach out to our wildlife partners and animal control.
“If you care, leave it there.”
This time of year, it’s common to come across young wildlife, fawns tucked in the grass, baby birds on the ground, ducklings wandering near water, and more. It can be really tempting to step in, but in most cases, the best thing you can do is simply give them space.
What might look like an abandoned animal is often just mom nearby, watching and waiting for the right moment to return. Human interference can unintentionally cause stress or even separate them for good.
A reminder that The Outdoor Campus–Sioux Falls does not take in baby or injured wildlife, but we’re always happy to help you figure out what you’re seeing.
Thanks for doing your part to keep wildlife wild. 💚
