Our Wish List
Our Future Depends On You!
Our
Center needs donations in order to continue critical services.
If you can help us with any items listed below, please contact
us.
Multi-Media
Projector
The Tucson Wildlife Center
believes that education is the best investment we can make for
our community. We have built an education program that focuses
on giving presentations throughout the school system, libraries
and clubs. We have provided over 55 presentations with the children’s
ages ranging from elementary to high school. We work hard to
provide
 |
presentations that are enlightening and challenging
to the young mind. Because of our expansion to larger audiences,
we are in desperate need of a multi-media projector. We are
asking your assistance in helping us find this donated equipment
as a tax-deductible item. Your generous gift would help us continue
our educational presentations to the Tucson community.

Maintenance Cart or Golf Cart
We could really use an
electric maintenance cart. The enclosures are rather spread
out for the sake of the animals' privacy and wellbeing, which
makes for a long walk with a lot of equipment. A maintenance
cart will cut down on the amount of time and physical man-power
it takes to care for the wildlife in our center. A golf cart
that can be modified would work as well.

Fruit and Vegetables
Many of the animals need
produce every day and even prickly pear when we can get it {especially
the Javelinas}. We go though a large amount and need a constant
supply to be able to give them the proper nutrition that they
need. Regular donations of this or even a one time donation
would be greatly appreciated. We are also looking for resources
for fruits and veggies as well as people who would be willing
to solicit stores and restaurants for their throw outs. Sometimes
we also need people to do regular pick ups of produce from these
kinds of sources. |
{White} Sterilite
Plastic Storage Drawers
These are used to
organize medical supplies and keep them clean from the
AZ dust. We need the Sterilite brand so that all of our
containers will stack and they need to be white to indicate
medical supplies. It is a great help to have storage for
all of our much needed medical supplies to be organized
and easy to get to.
We will also gladly
accept different types of storage containers to help protect
other supplies but have the greatest need for the white
Sterilite drawers. |
If you have these items used or can find them for a good price we would greatly
appritate donations.

Fencing
Fencing is
used to build almost all of our enclosures. It creates
a safe habitat for the animals while they are in
our care. We would like to build more enclosures
to house animals and to build larger enclosures
for our educational animals so their quality of
life is improved. Chain link is the prefered type
of fencing because it is long lasting, durable and
able to stand up to weather. |
However,
we also have a need for welded wire fencing, fence posts,
coregated tin or fiberglass roofing and other fencing
supplies. Please keep in mind that field fencing gradually
gets larger holes from bottom to top and is not as suitable
for animal enclosures. |
Landscaping
- Trees, Plants & Shrubs
We have a great need
for desert hardy plants. They should be drought tollerant
and easy to care for. We use plants to improve the habitats
of the animals in our care.
These are used for
privacy for the animals as well as shade and habitat.
|
|
It makes their life while in rehabilitation much less
stressful. It also helps fulfill their basic need to hide
from humans and helps to discourage human contact, which
makes for a better chance of successful release.
If you have a group or organization that would like
to volunteer time and effort we would appritiate your
efforts to locate these types of plants and install
them. Please email
tucsonwildlife@aol.com to arrange a group volunteer
project.
