We are asked how people can help us with the invaluable work we do here at North Island Wildlife Center.  One way is to attend one of our events which are always fun and informative.  We have two four month old bear cubs (Victoria and Elizabeth), who will cost thousands to raise before we can release them – their Mom's were killed.  As well we have an eaglet from Uclulet who is under a month old.   We have many other animals that come to our center for help and thanks to your support we heal and release many of them.
