Treehouse Wildlife Center Talks Helping Animals, Expanding Education in Riverbend

DOW - Kelly Vandersand, executive director of the Treehouse Wildlife Center, knows the value of a dollar. After all, that’s what it takes to provide one meal to any of the 36 birds or 13 mammals who are permanent residents at the sanctuary. “You might not enjoy the experience, but I will still sing and dance for $10,” she joked. “About a dollar will feed any animal there, sometimes two animals. So we value a dollar donation. We’re looking for that million dollar donation, I’d love to have one of those someday, but a dollar donation we appreciate just as much because that will feed one animal.” The Treehouse Wildlife Center is known for rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing animals throughout the Riverbend area.

The center is currently looking for a new education manager. Vandersand
