Keep Wildlife Wild -- Leave Young Animals Alone


With the arrival of spring, many species of wildlife are giving birth to their young. Finding young wildlife can be exciting, but in most cases, even if it appears abandoned, the mother is not far off. If you encounter young wildlife -- even young animals that appear to need help -- the kindest and safest thing to do is to leave them alone and let nature take its course.

“Young wild animals (including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) typically have their best chance of surviving when they are in their own natural environment,” explains N.H. Fish and Game Wildlife Biologist Dan Bergeron.
