Help us give wild lives a second chance!
Meet Ranger, the newest educational ambassador at the BC Wildlife Park. Ranger is a Northern Flying squirrel who came in through our Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre. Ranger came in as an orphan and was underweight, dehydrated, and battling a case of pneumonia. He eyes had just opened so it is estimated he was approximately 4 weeks old upon arrival. Because Ranger arrived on his own, late in the season, and had extensive human interaction at a key age in squirrel development, it was decided to keep him at the Park as an educational ambassador.
We are optimistic that Ranger will be on exhibit to the public in the new year. Currently our Animal Care team is designing a habitat to ensure he's happy and comfortable. It is estimated that Ranger's gazebo-style enclosure will cost approximately $5,000.00. If you're able to assist is with this cost, please click the link below for more information!

Buy A Bale of Hay! The British Columbia Wildlife Park's mission is to encourage the appreciation of and respect for BC's wildlife and to assist in preserving biodiversity through education, research, captive breeding and rehabilitation services. The BCWP is a non for profit society that relies on donations from individuals like you to help take care of the many animals that call the park home!
The BC Wildlife Park was first established in 1965, and for the past 52 years we have been promoting our motto "Conservation through Education". Each year we offer hundreds of school programs , kids camps , birthday parties , educational workshops and much more! A new centre would allow the education department to expand and diversify its programming!
