As trail runners, we share the trails. Not only with other runners, bikers, and hikers, but with creatures of the four-legged and winged variety. We may never see the creatures who travel the trails, but they are there. And at times they need our help.
So where do you turn if you have a woodland creature that needs help? Did you know that we have a great resource close by? Well, let me introduce Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. It is run by a dedicated team of workers { read:volunteers } who have opened their home and yard to help those creatures. You can also check them out on FaceBook, Twiiter and You Tube.
They are currently working on getting funding pulled together to build a Bald Eagle Flight Recovery Facility. You can check out one of their fundraising options here. This giant cage will allow the injured birds to test their wings and recover their strength before being reintroduced into the wild.
We are going to be collecting donations on race day to help out with this project. I know they need money to contribute towards the building of the new facility but I also know they need food to feed the animals they have in their care. So you have two options for donating - you can make a cash donation or you can bring a gift card from a local grocery store. Either way, we will be lending a hand to help our local wildlife.
So, come prepared to share the goodness of the trails and of helping those who need it.
See you there!
