MEET THE RESIDENTS OF REWILD 

OUR WILDLIFE AMBASSADORS

Maple the Animal Ambassador (Red-Tail Hawk)

 


Meet Maple, the red-tailed hawk animal ambassador at ReWild. Maple's story is a unique one - she was brought to the sanctuary as a non-releasable animal after being found seeking food on a person's front porch. It is believed she was potentially raised by a person from a chick and became habituated to humans. Despite her circumstances, Maple has found a new purpose as an ambassador animal, helping to educate the public about wildlife.

Juniper the Animal Ambassador (Bluejay)

Introducing Juniper, the blue jay who found his true calling as an ambassador animal. After being rescued with an eye injury, Juniper became habituated to humans during his treatment and now resides at ReWild. With his charming personality and impressive ability to mimic sounds like car beeps and human whistling, Juniper is a beloved educator on blue jays. Come meet him and be amazed by his talents!

Twiggy (or Twig) is a little brown bat, admitted as a patient to ReWild in 2022. He showed symptoms of White Nose Syndrome, a deadly disease spread among cave bats. He also had a fractured humerus, in which our veterinary staff tried to set, but unfortunately, it didn’t heal well enough for perfect flight, deeming him nonreleasable.
Twig is now an education ambassador for his species, telling his story, and teaching all about bats!

Jack-in-the-Pulpit is an eastern tiger salamander. Jack came to ReWild as a pet surrender. Since he was in the pet trade, nobody knew where he came from. He also depends on his human caretakers for food, which is his favorite part of the day! Jack lives at ReWild as an education ambassador, teaching the public about amphibians and the importance of salamanders in the ecosystem.
