Gifts for Local Wildlife

Join the folks at Sulphur Creek by making this a season for the animals. Once again the Giving Tree will grace our Discovery Center with ornaments hung from every limb with requests for essential items needed to continue our daily operations. Your gift can help to save a baby squirrel, dozens of ducklings or even an orphaned barn owl. Most of the items needed can be found in a local general or grocery store.

To help with our Giving Tree, you can take one or two of the ornaments and purchase the listed item to put under the tree. When you bring an item in, put your name on the ornament so it can be hung on our donor wall. Every gift makes a difference and helps us to better care for the over 900 sick, injured and orphaned animals that come to Sulphur Creek each year.

See our wish list at the bottom of the page for items being requested for donation.

Monetary Donations

Funds donated go to helping to feed and care both our resident animals and sick or injured wildlife.  To make a tax deductible donation please print and mail in or drop off the Donation Form with your donation.

Adopt a Wild Resident

You can adopt one of our wild residents! Your donation will help fund the care and feeding of our residents. Proceeds help provide habitat improvements, enclosure repair and maintenance and enrichment materials. Adoptive parents will have their name placed on our "Adoptive Parents Wall" plaque and receive a 5-by-7 inch photograph of their adoptee, a Certificate of Appreciation, and an information sheet about their adoptee. An animal adoption also makes a great gift!

The annual adoption fee is $85. The application form and list of animals available to adopt are available online.

Fundraisers

Tiny Tickets

Turn in your old BART tickets with just a few cents left: 15, 30, 40, 85. All those pennies add up to help care for the over 700 injured, sick, and orphaned wild animals that we take in each year. Please drop your tickets off at the naturalist desk, or mail them to Sulphur Creek.

Recycling

Save the planet and feed our wild animals. Sulphur Creek is collecting aluminum cans and used ink cartridges from home printers. All brands accepted except Epson. For every good cartridge turned in, we receive between $1 and $3. All proceeds go to the care of our animals. Recycling to help animals makes for great group projects.  Cans and cartridges may be dropped off at Sulphur Creek Nature Center.
