GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- The snow is causing more concerns at Bay Beach Wild Life Sanctuary.
As if the weekend snow did not cause enough problems for Wildlife, Curator Lori Bankson says now they are concerned about flooding
“We are a low line area, and we are already seeing a lot of melting occurring. We have the flooding that we normally see in the spring, but we still have 3 to 5 feet of snow in the areas.
The conditions that flooding leaves behind for the animals can also be dangerous.
“All of our animals that live here have some injury, and can’t go back into the wild. If they trip of fall in some standing water, that can result in some serious consequences for them.”
Bankson says they have taken in quite a bit of wildlife since the blizzard.
“We are at 100 already. Our cages are very limited because with the snowfall, we are pushed back two or three weeks. We have rehab animals still in those cages, so we are moving things around.”
Lori Bankson says the need is still strong a week later.
“They are still in crisis mode”
She says people can still make a big difference by helping with food and shelter until the snow is gone.
