I wish to introduce Tommy Young.
The almost 3-acre Arkansas Native Plant and Wildlife Center w
as founded by Tommy Young for his injured animals while they are recovering.  The Center is also equipped for breeding and serves as an educational center for visitors.
He is state and federally certified to do what he does.
They receive no state or federal funding.
They depend upon donations to do their vital and important work..
This center and the wonderful work they do can be read about here
http://www.tommyyoungwildliferehabcenter.com/index.html

This year has been extra hard on the animals and the Center due to less visitors because of the economy.  There has been a drought in our area and many of the native plants that feed the local animals have been damaged and will not be available for food in the wild as they normally would.

This center requires animal food to help feed the animals in the coming winter.
If you can help by money donation go here

Here is a list of food needed for injured wildlife at the Arkansas Native Plant and Wildlife Center in Mena, AR:
 
10% Sweet Feed - 40 bags, 40lb each = 1,600 lbs
Fancy Scratch -     24 bags, 40lb each =    960 lbs
Dog Food, dry -     40 bags, 40lb each = 1,600 lbs
 
Meat - chicken or other; 40lbs per day X 182 days = 7,300 lbs.
 
The Center has mountain lions, cougars, bears, raccoons, otters, alligators, skunks, deer, eagles, hawks, falcons, rabbits, beavers, deer, possums, snakes and other reptiles, etc. who have become injured and require rehabilitation before being released back in the forest. In some cases, the injuries are so severe the animal cannot be released but are cared for throughout their lives in a kind, a suitable environment.  The Center has cared for thousands of wildlife over the past two decades, but this winter promises to be especially rough because of the summer drought.  A poor economy and high unemployment in the area have slowed contributions to the Center.
 
They need help now.
 
Thank you!
