Right now there is NOWHERE in Northern Utah for native Utah wildlife to go if injured. For over a week now. Everyone who has ever touched a bird has their phone ringing off the hook. State and Federal agencies are sending the public to unlicensed rescuers who aren't set up for wildlife rehab.
TL;DR: Ogden Mayor surprised WRCNU with notice to vacate the space they thought they'd have forever. They sunk tens of thousands of dollars into the building and don't have capital funds to start somewhere new. City council had no idea Mayor was doing this. WRCNU is the ONLY federal/state licensed wildlife rehab in all of Northern Utah. Next closest licensed wildlife rehab is Great Basin in Spanish Fork, UT or Second Chance in Price, UT.
