Join us Wednesday morning at 7:30am in our new club location - the Kitchi Gammi Club, Great Hall - 2nd Floor, 831 E Superior St, Duluth, MN 55802! We will hear from Jessica LaBumbard, Executive Director of Wildwoods.
 
Wildwoods is a nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation organization in Duluth, Minnesota. They work to help orphaned, sick, and injured animals return to their natural lives. They also strive to be a resource for people who find these animals, and to educate people on ways to reduce human/wildlife conflict. Their mission is to promote understanding, appreciation, and well-being of wildlife and the world we share through compassion, care, and community involvement. 
 
Executive Director, Jessica LaBumbard, will share more about Wildwoods and the ways in which they serve animals and our community.
