Sunday, April 15, Back to the Wild Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Education Center will be holding an open house. This is a opportunity for close viewing of almost every species of Ohio raptor and many other native birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. You can also tour the education center, view the newly constructed Wetlands Rehabilitation Facility, and take a behind the scenes tour of the rehabilitation area. There is no admission charge for this event, but donations are greatly appreciated. Rehabilitation facilities receive no funding from state or federal sources and rely on donations to operate. Back to the Wild is strongly committed to education, especially the education of children, stressing the need for habitat preservation and simple ways in which we can all help wildlife. More information about the center can be found at _http://www.backtothewild.com/_ (http://www.backtothewild.com/) Directions to the facility appear below. The center is located at 4504 Bardshar Road, Castalia, Ohio, southwest of Sandusky. From the Rt. 2 near Sandusky, take Rt. 101 southwest approximately 1 mile to the first intersection. Turn left (south) onto Bardshar Road. Go approximately 2 miles on Bardshar Road ~ BACK TO THE WILD will be on your left. Call 419-684-9539 if you need help with directions.
