The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is allocating $550,000 in grant funding to 45 nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation organizations, including the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center in Arcata, to support care for injured, sick and orphaned wildlife.
“California’s injured, sick and orphaned native wildlife need our help now more than ever,” said CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham. “We are proud to quickly make funds available to help these important partner organizations operate during difficult economic times.”
